Vino de mesa tinto - a table wine. And what a such! Just the kind that cannot hide it's true nature. Behind the humble label lies a great crown, and a fine balancer, to your festive table.
Is it mencía that gives the strong odours of tobacco and liquorice to the first sniffs through the neck of the bottle and at the end of the cork? Is it garnacha that balances the full body? Is it maturity that has made this old modest one into a great and noble wine? - Apparently all that has created a rare harmony. And produced a fine wine that is both able to blend with the blessings of the festive table, and to lift them to the sensuous value they deserve.
Wine of the Week says 'Season's Greetings' and wishes you enjoyments that hug your palate and feelings.
