Description
Barahonda make balanced and expressive wines full of colour, flavour and complexity which have their own personality.
Their Barrica is a 60/40 blend of organic grapes from 40 year old Monastrell and 20 year old Syrah vines. The vineyards are on 70% limestone, 15% sand and 15% rock.
The best grapes are carefully selected and vinified separately. When the alcoholic fermentation is completed, the wine is transferred to French oak barrels for six months.
Velvety and seductive, the wine has good intensity with clean fruit and an acidity that gives it freshness balanced by well-integrated sweet oak on the finish.
Cellar for 7-8 years.
Pairs well with grilled meats, cured full fat cheese and nuts.
