Malgré son alcool élevé, c'est très digeste. Vin bio, capsule cirée mais étiquette un peu drabe. (557 views) | | Tasted by thomasjjackson on 11/2/2019 & rated 88 points: Ruby color, long legs - nose with cherries and hints of pears - flavor dense with cassis, liqorice and mediterean herbs, but over the peak - should be drunk (519 views) | | Tasted by Bro on 6/22/2018 & rated 88 points: Consommé avec Claude avant la pêche ... 🤡 (1116 views) | | Tasted by elvinet on 2/10/2015 & rated 90 points: Color ojo intenso, ribete rojizo bien brilalnte, capa tirando a baja y una fina lágrima suavemente tintada. Buena intensidad en nariz con unos mentolados iniciales que aportan mucha frescura, recuerdos de golosinas de fresa, hierbas frescas, los tostados de la barrica no aparecen hasta que el vino va ganando temperatura por lo que pasan bastante desapercibidos (el vino se toma ligeramente fresco, a unos 14-15ºC), fruta roja bien fresca y en compota (mermelada de fresa), regaliz rojo y suave fondo licoroso muy agradable. En boca tiene una muy buena entrada con un recorrido lleno de frescura, fruta roja bien fresca y sabrosa, los tostados se muestran más marcados, ligera tanicidad que le aporta algo de fuerza, se disfruta mucho, buena amplitud con unos balsámicos refrescantes, buena persistencia. Final medio-largo, postgusto de fruta roja y retronasal suavemente ahumado.

Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial). Based on in-spain.info.Catalunya Map on weinlagen-info |
