Avi 2013

Tasting: A small family winery run by husband-and-wife Alfredo and Nina. Growing vines on their little parcel of land was Alfredo’s Grandfather’s dream, realising this dream Alfredo and Nina named their first wine ‘Avi’, meaning Grandfather in Catalan (a local version of which is spoken throughout Valencia). A deliciously complex and full-bodied wine showing, rich concentrated body through black fruit, spice and structural tannin. Brooding and intense wine for lovers of the style. Un-fined and unfiltered with minimal sulphites used.
