Termanthia is a thermonuclear fruit bomb; Termanthia is a selection of the best grapes from the finest parcels that was aged in 100% new French oak for 20 months and bottled unfined and unfiltered. It is an incredibly rich dense purple-colored offering that possesses all the characteristics found in the Numanthia in addition to extra fragrance intensity and richness. Already drinkable this stunning Spanish red will be fascinating to follow over the next decade.

Opaque purple, the wine offers up plenty of toast, scorched earth, truffle, mineral, and assorted black fruits. Saturated ruby. Explosively perfumed scents of blackberry, blueberry and dark cherry, complicated by a seductive array of Asian spices and vanilla.
