Tintoralba Roble

Tasting Notes

The vibrant and elegant garnet color draws you towards the glass where complex aromas drift to the surface carrying notes of black pepper, black olive and chocolate over a prominent background of rich red fruit. Intense spice notes on the palate among a latticework of charcoal, chocolate and herbal flavors. This wine has extraordinary character with high concentration, perfectly integrating the well-structured tannins and bright acidity.

Food Pairing

Delicious with meat, roasts, cheeses, typical Mediterranean dishes with tomatoes and paprika and fine herbs, such as thyme, oregano, rosemary, bay leaf and pepper.

Tourism

Camino de Santiago
Did you know that our little town is part of the Camino de Santiago? The Camino de Santiago has existed for over a thousand years and was considered one of the most important Christian pilgrimages during medieval times. The objective of the pilgrimage is to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northwestern Spain, where legend has it that the remains of the apostle, Saint James the Great, are buried. Although the most famous route starts along the French border in Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port, or Somport, on the French side of the Pyrenees and Roncesvalles or Jaca on the Spanish side, there are several also located throughout the eastern coast of Spain. We are on the Camino de Alicante, a 735km route which begins in the city of Alicante, passes through Higueruela, and eventually winds up in Santiago de Compostela.
