Thick blackberry and plum soaked in oak, from a lesser known region in Spain. La Mancha stretches from the mountains of Toledo to the western spurs of the Cuenca hills, east of the Balearic Sea. The name is thought to have come from an Arabic word المنشأ al-mansha, meaning "land without water" which describes the region's dryland farming soils.
"Vurr-day-ho" is an uncommon light grape orginally from North Africa, and a staple of Rueda in Spain. Flavors of lime, Meyer lemon, grapefruit, grass, fennel, and citrus blossom. A good alternative to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio.
Luzador, a blend of 50% Garnacha and 50% Tempranillo, comes from 40 acres of biodynamically farmed vineyards in Navarra, where the soils are a mix of clays, gravels, and limestones, and the climate is best described as "Mediterranean-Lite." This medium-bodied wine offers juicy notes of plum, tea leaf, and licorice root, with warm spices on the finish and a chalky texture. Its vibrant profile showcases fresh plums, bell pepper, black pepper, flint sparks, blackberries, violets, sage, tomato, and graphite. Perfect with a slight chill, it’s a versatile, easygoing wine ideal for everyday enjoyment.
