Mahara Tintilla de Rota 2015

Tasting: From Andalusian natives the Gómez-Lucas brothers, chemistry graduates that decided to make wine without synthetic chemicals. The grapes for this wine go through an extended 6-month maceration on the skins before aging in Amphora, a combination that balances concentration and elegance. The resulting wine is dark in the glass but medium bodied, with an intense nose of purple flowers, garrigue herbs, and sea air. On the palate, the wine shows pretty red and black fruit, a gamey, savory note, and a saline mineral core. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered with no sulphites added.
