Barahonda Description
TASTING NOTES:
Blackberries, blueberries, acacia flowers, and chalky minerality dominate the aromatics and flavors. It is full-bodied, the price is absurdly low for a wine of this quality, and I suspect it can age nicely for another 5-6 years, although its true value is its exuberance, fruit purity and density.
PAIRING SUGGESTIONS:
Pasta with meat sauce, mushrooms, cured cheeses, red meats, legumes, and cured ham
VINIFICATION AND AGING:
Fermentation takes places in stainless steel tanks for 15 days. Then the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 8 months
LOCATION, SOIL, CLIMATE:
70% limestone and 30% sandy soils at 750m (2,460ft) elevation
GRAPE:
70% Monastrell, 20% Syrah, 10% Garnacha Tintorera. Organically grown vines planted from 1987-1992. Tended in 70% limestone and 30% sand soils at 750m (2,460ft) elevation.
This wine is vegan
Decanter: 95 Points
Teeming with raspberries and redcurrants with a light dusting of cinnamon spice. Rounded and pleasurable with abundant, fleshy tannins and a mouth-watering zip of acidity.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
The wine opens with blackberry puree, black raspberry and boysenberry with a hint of cassis and red currant. The concentrated palate leans into black fruit with youthful tannins opening on the attack followed by a decrescendo into red raspberry. This fruit-forward wine would pair well with roasted dishes including potatoes, pork and chicken.
