Description

Luis Marín · DO Cariñena

A Merlot from DO Cariñena, grown on very stony, low-fertility soils. Three months in oak, enough to give it volume without stripping the fruit. A fresh-styled wine, with total acidity of 4.8 g/l and 13.2% ABV. It belongs to the El Gordo range, the winery’s most informal.
