Try this if you enjoy: Fitou
Delicious and immensely drinkable wine from this grape variety which can normally be so fierce. Dark blackberry, tangy damson, dusty cherry, raspberry, spice, earth, thyme and rosemary with a good long finish.
Finca Casa Balaguer are a small family run winery based in Alicante. Their wines are made in the most natural way possible, practicing organic agriculture. The focus is on local grape varieties such as Monastrell, Alicante Bouschet and Malvasia, and only natural yeasts and absolutely no chemical additives are used in their wines. In their own words, ‘we believe our grapes should express themselves naturally, so it is our job as wines makers to provide them with the best possible environment in which to grow. The less intervention from us in the winery the better, so our wines can truly reflect the character of our wonderful land.’
