Bassus, Finca Casilla Herrera
Red wine | Bodegas Hispano+Suizas, Valencia DOP
Much more than the sum of its parts!
The ''Bassus'' combines aromas of wild berries, cedar, vanilla with fine notes of orange. Ample and creamy on the palate, it is perfectly held together by silky, round, very fine tannins and a well-balanced freshness. This red wine is an original composition made from French grape varieties from different horizons, with the local star, Bobal, for a perfect marriage where each element is sublime in a high-flying blend!
