Uvas Nomadas Garnacha Tintorera, Malaparte 2019 (Castilla y Leon, Spain)

Dark and brooding fruit on the nose with support from baking spice and smoky notes. This lower than expected tannic red really delivers in flavor and well integrated acidity. Lingering iron notes and dense sensibility.

This is an ever changing special limited-edition wine project and its’ name Uvas Nomadas literally translates to “Gypsy Grapes”. Garnacha Tintorera (often called Alicante Bouschet) is a cross between Garnacha and Petit Bouschet. This variety is marked by the dark colored pulp and it is included in the family of teinturier grapes of Vitis vinifera species, meaning its skin is red (almost black) and the flesh is also red.
