Nose | This blend of Tempranillo and Merlot shows a good balance between fruity aromas and wooden notes. Ripe black fruit, some flowery touches, a dash of liquorice and hints of spices and dry earth. |
Palate | Fresh and savoury, this wine of bodega Montebaco has a good acidity, slightly dry tannins and a long, fruity finish that leaves some remembrances of wild berries, liquorice and spices. |
Our personal opinion | An affordable Ribera, we suggest pairing Semele Crianza 2018 with stews and casseroles. |
