NEPTIS selection
NEPTIS Expresión and PREVIUS de Neptis

This is our premium range and a tribute to the family; sourced from a selection of our low yield vineyards in Curiel. It is produced only in vintages of exceptional quality, using a unique method, and aged in French oak barrels. These are highly personal wines, produced in close collaboration between the family estate and the winery’s technical team; they do not adhere to standards or classifications, consequently they are marketed as vintage wines and known as SIGNATURE WINES.

An elegant, deep picota cherry-red colour.

The nose produces a broad range of aromas, with notes of black fruits, blackberries, blueberries and blackcurrants; hints of cocoa, vanilla and cedar, characteristic of an ageing process that blends perfectly with the fruit, forming a complex bouquet of primary, secondary and tertiary aromas, with mineral, limestone and earthy nuances.

On the palate, it is flavourful, full-bodied and elegant, evoking the black fruit and toasted notes present on the nose, as well as hints of stewed fruit, which lend it opulence and sweetness, enhancing its richness.

A long, pleasant finish.
