Barbazul Tintilla De Rota 2024

Price: £20.00

Tintilla de Rota is one of Spain's most endangered grape varieties. This wonderful example offers a perfect balance between the grape and the wood, the fruits and the spices, the freshness of its acidity, and the density of its structure.

With a medium-bodied cherry-red colour, Barbazul Tintilla de Rota 2024 presents a nose dominated by black fruit and ripe blackberry. These are accompanied by spicy notes of liquorice and pepper, with a cocoa background characteristic of ageing. On the palate, it is flavourful with freshness and a very pronounced yet balanced acidity, resulting in a light and elegant mouthfeel. It has a long finish with a pleasant, varietal aftertaste.

Food pairing: Grilled lamb, black pudding, or dark chocolate.
