RED WINE

100% Tinto Fino, from the area of Castrillo de la Vega, located at an average altitude of 800 meters, in the province of Burgos. The grapes come from old vineyards between 26 and 50 years old, all owned by viticulturists in the area. Fermented and aged (12 months) in concrete tanks.

Heading towards a more black fruit profile with a black currant, creme de mure thing going on and a hint bitcumen and turned earth. Mid-weight in style with nice concentration and push from the darker fruit profile. It delivers plenty of concentrated fruit but does it all with bounce and vibrancy at the same time.

This is one of the most incredible bargains from Spain. LUIS GUTIERREZ Wine Advocate

The ripe mulberry, blue and black fruit sets the tone but the rhythm is tempered by its freshness with tangy aromas of wild flowers, mineral and exotic herbs at the same time. Juicy and fresh on the palate with a constrained medium body with vibrant, crunchy berries rounded by lacy, minerally tannins. Pure, silky finish full of blue fruit. Intrinsic. Delicious now, why hold. JAMES SUCKLING

The 2021 Albahra was produced with a blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera and 30% Moravia Agria, mixing grapes from Almansa and Manchuela. The Garnacha Tintorera fermented with 60% full clusters in open concrete vats, and the Moravia Agria was destemmed and had a short maceration. The Garnacha Tintorera matured in concrete for eight months and the Moravia Agria in used barrels, 228- and 500-liter ones. It has 13% alcohol and good freshness and acidity. Surprisingly enough, 2021 was a warmer year in the zone, and the wine has notes of strawberry confiture; and it has a rounder palate and is juicier, with a velvety mouthfeel. 59,500 bottles and 600 magnums produced. It was bottled in June 2022. LUIS GUTIERREZ, Wine Advocate
