This Spanish cuvée presents wonderfully expressive notes of blackberries, mulberries, black cherries and morello cherries in the glass. These are joined by hints of vanilla, black tea and dark chocolate. The Bodegas D. Mateos Vendimia delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 2.2 grams of residual sugar.

Due to the balanced fruit acidity, the Vendimia flatters with a velvety mouthfeel, without at the same time lacking in juicy liveliness.
