Description
The ‘Museum’ Cigales Reserva is 100% Tempranillo, sourced from dry-farmed bush vines that are over 70 years old. The vines are planted at an altitude of 750 metres above sea level with a marked diurnal range for the development of intense aromatics while retaining acidity. Aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, this has intense aromas of cassis, red cherry and roasted hazelnut. There is a rich density on the mid-palate, with velvety tannins and opulent fruit perfume. The oak is well-integrated.
