Bodegas Enguera
Aliats Tinto
Intense red color with bluish trim. Intense aromas of fresh fruit, redcurrant, strawberry, blackberry. They also emphasize spicy aromas, peppermint, thyme, as well as clove and pepper of French oak. Light and elegant in the mouth. Very good structure, good acidity and balance. Medium post-taste The wine reflects with its elegance and personality faithfully the characteristics of the wines of Fontanars dels Alforins. The evolution in the bottle is very favorable. Fresh fruit evolves into ripe and slightly compote fruit over time.
