Underneath sits something more savoury: cedar, old wood, a touch of eucalyptus and fig give it real depth. On the palate it's medium to full-bodied, with a bold, sweet fruit core held in check by ripe tannins and a food-friendly streak of acidity. The finish runs long. Malbec drinkers will find plenty to love here too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop food pairings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRump steak, cooked simply so the wine can do the work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLamb tagine, for something warmer and spiced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA mushroom and lentil ragu, for a plant-based match with the same depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is one for fans of our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reservewines.co.uk\/products\/sampietranabrindisiriserva2022?variant=32221920690289\"\u003eSampietrana Brindisi\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.reservewines.co.uk\/products\/herdade-de-sao-miguel-tinto-2024?variant=54906341818750\"\u003eHerdade São Miguel Tinto\u003c\/a\u003e: soft, bold, fruity, full of life.

Cariñena. The cellar runs on gravity across four levels, with next to no mechanical intervention, letting old vines and native varieties do most of the talking. Vineyards sit at altitude and are farmed organically and regeneratively, many of them abandoned plots the winery has brought back into use. Wines are aged in a mixture of wooden foudre, stainless steel, concrete and big clay jars, resting in caves cut into the hillside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it's made:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: 60% Grenache, 40% Carignan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVines aged between 35 and 60 years, grown on stony, alluvial soils with red clay and silt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-harvested, with bunches selected in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged for 14 months across wooden vats, concrete tanks, French oak barrels and clay jars in the winery's caves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e D.O.
