Vina Alarba makes for pleasant drinking in a characterful, deep and brooding way.
Made from vines aged between 40 and 100 years from the small region of Calatayud (Zaragoza province).
A region perhaps not as well known as the neighbouring Carinena and Borja regions.
A deep-ruby colour, purple in the glass.
Predominantly plum and cherry nose with notes of spice and raspberry.
A medium-bodied Grenache with tannins that nicely contrast the refreshing, light acidity.
Cherry and plum sweetness with spice and a balanced earthiness/minerality.
Matching well with barbecue, roasts, Asian takeout and veggie pastas.
And for less than US$ 10.
