Friday's Tasting
2009 Fuentespina Rosado
The Ribera del Duero is blessed by a combination of terroir, microclimate and a native grape that gives superb, complex red wines. At this altitude Tempranillo gives thin-skinned and refreshingly acid fruit, which in turn gives wines that are delicious young, like this rosé. The grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks between for 10 days. Clean and bright. Aromas of great intensity fresh fruit and red berries. The palate is fresh, full, and with a pleasant finish. Fishes. White meat and rice dishes. Great with Paella.
Our Price: 11.57
2010 Jumilla Rose
Made from 100% Monastrell (Mourvèdre), this has a fresh bouquet of cut strawberries, garden herbs, and a hint of citrus. Flavors of ripe berry and cherry sail over the palate with a subtle undercurrent of light mineral and earth notes, before coming to a crisp and commendably dry finish. Because Monastrell has excellent varietal character, this rosado packs a lot of flavor. Poultry, Vegetable Dishes, White meat - veal, pork

NV Gran Pasion
Dry, well balanced light and crisp brut. Creamy mouth feel with delicate clean finish. Peach sherbet characteristics are a peachy match for fried fish & sweet fried plantains. Perfect for apertif or anytime - tasty and elegant. Uses all three of the Penedes grapes - 60% Parellada, 20% Xarell-o, and 20% Macabeo (Viura). Light citrus & mineral backbone. Sold out at the tasting for Christmas Eve, and our recent old world tasting, so now we have a stack of it. Jose Maria Manzanares Palarea demonstrates passion and desire through beautiful wines that pay homage to the past, and are beloved by wine lovers today.
