Why you'll love it
A lively, fruit-driven Spanish red that over‑delivers—critically praised (90–92 pts) and superb value.
Vibrant raspberry, blackberry and blueberry with hints of black olive, balsamic herbs and fine spice. Silky, fresh and approachable.
Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, poultry, rice dishes, cured meats or veggie stews.
Best known in Bierzo, Ribeira Sacra, Dão
A fragrant red grape from north-west Spain. Red cherry, floral notes and fresh acidity, with a mineral edge from slate soils. Elegant and medium-bodied, it is often compared to Cabernet Franc or Pinot Noir.
Spain
