The more austere red 2021 Xabrega Tinto has a subtler nose, with elegant notes of berry fruit, herbs and earth, nuanced and layered. The palate is seamless and balanced, with rich and deep flavors and a nice texture with fine-grained, sandy tannins. It was produced with Mencía and 10% other varieties, fermented with 50% full clusters in concrete and matured in barrel for nine months. ... More details

Winery
Cherry red color, of medium intensity, clean and bright. Fine and elegant nose where aromas of red fruit and wild flowers stand out along with smoky notes, followed by memories of undergrowth on a mineral background. Mineral notes stand out in the mouth. It is velvety on the palate, intense and medium-bodied. Smoked and balsamic notes appear in the aftertaste.

Region: Galicia

Galicia, in northern Spain, was once a prosperous and highly popular wine producing region. Despite the strong influence and often bad weather brought by the Atlantic Ocean, the vintners of Galicia knew how to make the most of the grape varietals which thrived in their vineyards, and were renowned for producing excellent, characterful wines full of flavor and beautiful aromatic qualities. However, the economic collapse which occurred in Galicia in the 19th century all but destroyed the region's wine industry and reputation, and it looked as though the region would never recover. Thankfully for lovers of Spanish wines, plenty of money and effort was spent in rebuilding the Galician wine industry over the past few decades, and today, more and more wineries are once again making their distinctive single variety and blended white and red wines, and finding new fans across the globe.

Country: Spain

For over two thousand years, Spain has been responsible for much of Europe's wine production, making the very best of native grape varietals, and more recently experimenting with and perfecting wines made from imported grapes. Of course, the region of La Rioja is renowned world-wide for the quality and characteristics of its wines, which benefit greatly from the warm, dry continental climate of the area, and the fertile soils of the Ebro river basin. However, there is far more to Spanish produce than the complex, aromatic and earthy red wine of this region, as a result of the vast range of wine making traditions and practices, and terrains and climatic conditions found across the country. The region Castilla y Leon produces some of Europe's finest white wines, and the sparkling wines of Cava and the sherries of Jerez are firm favorites for wine lovers around the world.
