A black, tarry red wine with pleasantly bitter baked black fruit and charred oak on the nose and palate. The wine undergoes a malolactic fermentation to make it smoother, then is aged 9 months in Allier and Never (French) oak barrels. Pair with grilled meats.

Food pairings: meat lovers pizza, gourmet hamburgers.

Reviews and Ratings

This robust Spanish red wine is made from 100% Mencia grapes that are grown on vines more than 60 years old, which concentrates their flavours. The extraordinary old-vine character of the wine is something you won't forget. Finished with dried herbs and tanned leather. - Community Wine Reviews

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.
