Entrechuelos Tercer Año is an elegant and sophisticated red wine, made from a careful selection of Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and the native Tintilla de Rota. Sourced from the soils of Tierra Albariza, characteristic of the Marco de Jerez, this wine reflects the unique character of the Tierra de Cádiz PGI.
Its aging in French oak barrels for 12 months, followed by another 12 months of maturation in the bottle, gives it great complexity and exceptional evolution over time. A wine that stands out for its intense ruby red color and a nose rich in ripe red fruits, chocolate and balsamic notes.
If you are looking for a red wine from Cádiz with body, personality and a persistent finish, this is the perfect choice.
