Balanced and Elegant
Balance defines Gotim Bru. A flagship of the winery, this avant-garde classic is as youthful and informal as it is distinguished and rooted. It is an expressive and elegant wine that distills history and recalls the freshness of the continental climate it enjoys. Years of experience have made it the highest exponent of the DO.

Tasting note: Medium-intensity picota color with garnet edges. The tears are dense. In a still glass, great aromatic potency and complexity; notes of red fruit jam, along with dairy, toasted, and sweet spice hints. When aired, mineral aromas appear with notes of pastry, compote fruit, and touches of aromatic herbs like thyme. The entry on the palate is sweet and voluptuous. The tannins are soft and fill the mouth. The acidity is present throughout the palate and adds freshness. Very long and balanced persistence. On the retronasal route, notes of dried fruit and wafers.
