Tasting notes for Guarafía red wine:
![]()
Medium-low ruby-coloured robe.
![]()
Suggestive and subtle aromas of flowers and small red berries, over a mineral background and very slight hints of spices.
![]()
Silky and elegant verticality. Surprising for its delicate complexity and balance, which transports all its aromas to a pleasant and persistent finish in which its mineral character stands out.
Optimum service temperature: 15-16° C.
Pairing: Iberian cured meats, grilled meats and stews, especially if they have an intense flavour.
Many years before Robert Parker spoke of Jumilla as one of the most promising wine regions in the country, even before the wines from the area began to stand out in our oenological firmament as the champions of value for money, this winery was already triumphing with its red wines from the Sierra del Carche. The new Jumilla was invented in this house.
