2016 Finca Constancia Altos de la Finca (Petit Verdot/Syrah), VdIT Castilla

£19.50 inc. VAT

Altos de la Finca is a deliciously decadent blend of 50% Petit Verdot and 40% Syrah produced by the superb Finca Constancia winery.

Their vineyards lie in a rolling landscape that offers a range of different types of soil. Only those that grow on the east side are selected to make this wine as they ripen better are of higher quality.

After fermentation it is stored in medium toast French oak barrels where it undergoes malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 18 months in new French oak.

This wine’s personality is defined by its glacé cherry colour, steeped in aromas of dark chocolate and cranberry that blend with those of violet coloured flowers contributed by the Syrah grapes. With a softness in the mouth reminiscent of red roses, the wine has appealing, lingering tannins and hints of caramel. A magical blend of varieties that will satisfy many palates.
