Esteban Martín Oak 12 is a smooth, fruit-forward red with a bit of extra depth from oak ageing. It shows ripe blackberry and plum alongside notes of vanilla, sweet spice and a touch of toast. The palate is rounded and medium-bodied, with soft tannins and a warm, easy finish. It’s a great match for grilled meats, barbecue, or slow-cooked dishes like beef stew. It also works well with hard cheeses, where the wine’s ripe fruit and gentle oak complement the savoury flavours nicely. 'Oak 12' refers to the wine being aged for around 12 months in oak barrels, which adds those subtle spice and vanilla notes while helping to soften and round out the structure.
