The Carinena grape has had a somewhat dubious reputation in the past. It was uninspiring and mainly created boring, mass-produced wines. Fortunately, more and more Spanish wineries are investing in this beautiful indigenous grape, including Libre y Salvaja. By planting the vines in precisely the right locations, the Carinena flourishes. Furthermore, the winemaker interferes as little as possible with the grapes. The winery's translation is not without reason: free and wild.
After hand-harvesting the Carinena grapes, the winemaker begins the intensive process of creating this crowd-pleaser. The grapes are gently pressed and then fermented. The beautiful juice then matures in oak barrels for 12 months. This results in an impressive aroma and flavor. Let your senses explore: generous violets, soft blueberries, and ripe blackberries. The flavor of dark plums is clearly discernible on the back of the tongue. This distinctive red wine from Spain is sure to earn a place in your personal top ten.
