Discovering the wine region of Arribes
Recent DO (2007) of Castile and León along the Duero at the Portuguese border, vineyards on steep riverbanks (the "arribes"), pre-phylloxera old vines. Juan García is the signature red (a native, ~40% of the vineyard, brilliant purple berries): aromatic with red fruits, blackberry, violet, garrigue and a schisty mineral note, supple tannins and medium acidity. Fine Rufete, Tempranillo and Garnacha as complements.
Discover the grape variety: Merlot
Round and fleshy reds with a velvety texture, showing aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, cocoa and truffle notes with age. Supple tannins, generous alcohol, indulgent finish. Pillar of Libournais (Pomerol with Pétrus, Saint-Émilion with Cheval Blanc and Ausone) and signature of Super Tuscans, Italian Wales and Washington State. A cross of Cabernet Franc × Magdeleine Noire, France's most planted red variety.
