"A splendid expression of the variety; the inviting bouquet shows Black Doris plum, mixed berry compote, toasted nut and warm spice aromas, followed by a succulent palate that offers excellent weight and depth. It is supple and silky with a delightfully long velvety finish. At its best: now to 2022" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) is a ‘teinturier’ grape variety with red flesh as well as dark skins. It is sought out by wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs for its amazing colour intensity and strong cherry, cassis, dark chocolate and black pepper characters backed up by a lush texture. This excellent example is juicy and plush with polished tannins.
Bodegas Piqueras was founded in 1915 by Mario Bonete, one of the driving forces behind the creation of Almansa DO. in south-east Spain (100 kilometres inland from Valencia.) Today, Mario's sons look after the estate, with the goal of producing eminent wines at fantastic prices. The estate is situated at 700-800 metres altitude with an extreme continental climate, low rainfall and limestone-rich soils which are managed using organic farming methods… perfect conditions for low yielding, slow ripening vines which produce rich, ripe, bold red wines of excellent concentration and quality.
Food Pairing: Enjoy this juicy red on its own or with roasted or grilled red meat and cheese dishes.
