Winery Review: "This wine has a brick red color with a bougquet of red raspberries, spice and white pepper. The palate is incredibly concentrated and rich. The modern styles of Garnacha in Spain are continuously being perceived worldwide as wines of extraordinarily good quality. This wine is fruity, juicy and shows great depth, ripe tannins, length but yet with wonderful elegance and lightness. Enjoy with sausages, roasted meats, aged cheeses etc."
My Review: It’s weird to actually think of putting spices and pepper on your fruit but somehow they balance so nicely in a glass of wine. Very jammy/fruity with plums, black currant, and black cherry hints. Fantastic balance between acidity and tannins, I fight so evenly matched that I couldn’t even taste the alcohol. Spain just seems to be my wine money spot but this Garnacha was right on point, delivering great complex flavor profiles and deep aromas.
I sampled the wine without food.
