Guelbenzu- Ribera del Queilles "Azul"

2017 - Organic. This heady red spent 9 months in a mix of American and french oak barrels which delivers the deep chocolatey, spicy, suede notes upfront. Well developed notes of blackberries, mulberries, fig, ripe plum fruits, followed by vanilla oak notes. Leathery, dry tannins frame the dark berries, powerful mid palate and earthy, peppery finish. A wine for Argentine Churrasco, South African Braai or Aussie "Barbie".
