I’m actually getting this up before the middle of the month… Are you impressed? Anyway, once again I go to Spain to find a great value! This time, it’s a lighter style Garnacha that could actually be chilled if you so wish. I personally am not a huge fan of chilling reds, but I get it. Like Rose’ on steroids I guess. This little gem is from Madrid and I believe perfect for Spring drinking. Pair it with roasted chicken, salads, prawns, salmon, lamb, mussels, you name it.
Aromas of strawberries, black raspberries, pomegranate and licorice. Raspberry and strawberry notes on soft, structured tannins, with hits of pomegranate and licorice underneath. A little “grip” on the finish with a solid kiss of white pepper and spice. Pomegranate notes linger. Good balance and integration. (B-)
Cheers!
