Wine Expert Note:

On the nose, Lafou El Sender offers enticing aromas of ripe red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of black pepper and Mediterranean herbs. These aromas continue to unfold on the palate, where the wine displays a medium body and smooth tannins. The flavor profile of Lafou El Sender is marked by a perfect balance between fruitiness and earthiness. The red berry notes are complemented by a touch of spiciness and a distinct minerality, which adds complexity to the wine. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of ripe fruit and a touch of oak.
