Bodegas Enguera
Sueño de Megala
Deep dark red color, brick tones on the rim. Very particular Mediterranean wine. Notes of stewed fruit and compote stand out, but the freshness of the Mediterranean style is maintained. Floral and fresh fruit aromas are preserved, but also aromatic herbs such as mint, rosemary and scrub. The clove stands out among the spicy aromas, white pepper, curry notes. High concentration, great volume and breadth on the palate, well polished sweet tannins. Excellent balance, very long and pleasant aftertaste on the palate.
