GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

WHITES 
They usually have a straw yellow color; they are fruity and have a fairly good aromatic intensity, although in the mouth they can be somewhat short of acidity.
 
ROSÉS 
They are not the most representative of the area, but the best ones follow the modern elaborations for this type of wines and are, therefore, quite fruity, fresh and pleasant.
 
RED WINE 
They are the most characteristic product of the region and also the most abundant. Made basically from Monastrell, they have a purplish cherry or garnet cherry color. Aromatically, they offer notes of ripe fruit and, sometimes, raisin-like features may appear due to the strong sunshine in the area. In the mouth, they are fleshy, warm and smooth.
