"Delightfully fruited and inviting, the wine shows sweet cherry, olive, subtle game and toasted almond characters. The palate displays beautifully rounded mouthfeel together with fine flow and grainy tannins, finishing sturdy and lingering." - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
This is an excellent example of Tempranillo-Syrah from old Spanish dry-farmed Organic vineyards. Deep purple with a ruby rim, displaying aromas of red fruit and blackberries with slight spicy notes of freshly ground pepper. Medium bodied and juicy on palate, yet with fine tannins and a refreshing finish.
Maravedí - the name of an ancient Spanish coin – symbolizes the value of preserving the ancestral vineyards of the beautiful Spanish highlands and this wine is produced from organically farmed old vineyards in Castile.
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
