Cuerno de diablo

The final wine at the M&D story telling wine tasting. This is an artesian red wine from Castilla La Mancha. The winery is based in Mota de Cuervo in the Cuenca province, but the grapes for this wine were grown just down the road near Toboso in the Toledo province. It is a vegan wine … Continue reading Cuerno de diablo →

Albae Tempranillo 2015

The final red wine of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This is 100% Tempranillo aged in French oak barrels for 6 months. It was the wine I was least interested in because Tempranillo wines are a dime a dozen here in Spain. I was keener to try the wines made from, … Continue reading Albae Tempranillo 2015 →

Albae Malbec 2015

The first of my two favourite red wines from the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This is a 100% Malbec and the second that will be posted tomorrow is a 100% Tempranillo. As with all the Albae reds they are matured in French oak barrels for 6 months. I bought a bottle … Continue reading Albae Malbec 2015 →

Albae Syrah 2015

The third red wine of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This time a 100% Syrah grape variety and again matured for 6 months in French Oak barrels. It is a medium intensity purple colour going slightly to ruby red. An interesting scent that reminded me of chorizo i.e cured meat and … Continue reading Albae Syrah 2015 →

Albae Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

The second red wine of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This time made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and matured in French oak barrels for 6 months. A medium purple colour with a light scent of berries and some wood. Interestingly it has lower tannins than the Merlot. Usually it's the other … Continue reading Albae Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 →

Albae Merlot Crianza 2015

The first red wine of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This is made from 100% Merlot and is matured in French oak barrels for 6 months. According to the representative from Bodeg Albae it is difficult to work with this grape in Castilla La Mancha due to the heat which produces … Continue reading Albae Merlot Crianza 2015 →

Albae Chardonnay

The second wine of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This is the other white wine this time made from 100% Chardonnay. A light lemon green colour, it has a medium nose that reminds me of the pear drop sweets. So think sweet pear, slightly tropical. Very little acidity in the scent … Continue reading Albae Chardonnay →

Albae Viognier 2018

The first of the Bodega Albae wine tasting at TomeVinos Barrio Salamanca. This is one of two white wines available made from 100% Viogner. The Viogner grape is known for producing perfumed wines. This is also true of the more commonly used Spanish grape variety Viura/Macabeu. So it's a shame that Bodega Albae don't produce … Continue reading Albae Viognier 2018 →

Museo de Productos Tinto

Another quicky wine drunk this week on a visit to Toledo. It was served as part of the Menu del Dia in a restaurant called Museo de Productos de Castilla La Mancha. The wine was named after the restaurant and it's a basic table wine from the Castilla La Mancha región. Now I don't normally … Continue reading Museo de Productos Tinto →

Parcela 12 Tinto 2015

Onto to some red wine with a bit a oomph about it. This wine is made by the same group that does Tio Pepe. They've started to buy parcels of land to experiment with lesser known grape varieties ..... I love it when they do that! In this case the grape is Graciano which is … Continue reading Parcela 12 Tinto 2015 →
