Reviews and Ratings

The 2013 vintage of the robust Spanish red wine El Molar is made from 100% Garnacha grapes. The wine is named after the vineyards where the grapes grow (vines planted in 2006 in sand and chalk soils with a top layer of gravel). The grapes were trodden by foot rather than pressed by machine, then the wine was fermented in cement vats and matured for 9 months in second-use 500-litre oak barrels. The 2013 experienced more rain than average, with cooler temperatures during the summer season. Lots of acidity on the palate. Only 28,000 bottles were produced of the 2013 vintage. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
