Serranía de Ronda, Sierras de Málaga, Andalucía, Spain
An intriguing blend of indigenous grapes; Tintilla de Rota and Romé, with Syrah and Garnacha. This is a highly regarded wine and winery in Spain with many high marks from Spanish critics. It has a bit of a cult following here, but for people unfamiliar with this region (DO Sierras de Malaga) it may be a bit perplexing. Intense aromas of wet soil, spicy black pepper, sage, rosemary, and sweet, mature dark fruit. Powerful flavors of earth, mud and fruit on the palette with succulent acidity anchored by fixed yet smooth tannins. A medium long finish that is savory and sweet at the same time, a bit like a good teriyaki sauce! This is an unusual and exciting wine. I highly recommend but drink with an open mind!
