Calatayud
Attiya Garnacha rosado 2003,
D.O. Calatayud.
* This is the type of rosé
that deserves more appreciation: easy drinking, full-bodied, fresh, just
enough concentration to match well with food and not too much so it is
a perfect aperitif, interesting spicy fruit, ripe, very clean and well
balanced.

2003,
D.O. Calatayud.

extremely
affordable red wine, full bodied, rich and round, brimming with warm
and
ripe black fruit with a spicy touch of ground pepper, not unlike a good
Côtes du Rhône. A real bargain !

Dobiñón
tinto Mencia, D.O. Bierzo **HERITAGE WINE**
* Elegance, balance and
attractive
earthy and spicy fruit are the key words in this wine. The fruit is
both
elegant and earthy, fresh and even refined, a cross between a supple
red
Bordeaux and elegant red Burgundy. Not the power, but the balance and
the
fluid fruit impresses in this wine.
- estimated retail price ca.
4 - 5 euro

Valencia
La Bodega de Pinoso Torre del Reloj Monastrell Rosado 2006, D.O. Alicante
*
Rich, soft and full bodied dry rosé, loaded with ripe and juicy fruit,
obviously from a warm region: ample alcohol, spicy nuances, but with
matching mild and clean acidity, clean, honest style, impressive
balance for its very modest price. A great buy!
- estimated retail price ca. 4 euro

attractive bite.
