GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

WHITES 
They are light and fruity; they are mainly made with listán blanco alternating with malvasía, moscatel or verdello. They combine floral hints provided by the muscatel and malvasia with herbaceous traits of the listan blanco. In the mouth they are light and easy to drink.

ROSÉS 
Made mainly from listan negro, they maintain the varietal character of this grape variety and are fresh and pleasant to drink.

RED WINE 
This is the most characteristic product of the DO. The young reds have a garnet cherry or ruby-garnet color; on the nose they develop aromas of good intensity, are fresh and fruity and transmit a very original wild character of the listán grape. They stand out for their marked Atlantic character, which makes them very fresh and unique.
