Wine of the Week | Manuel Quintano El Pionero 2019 [Red] Mainly tempranillo plus a small amount of garnacha from selected plots in Labastida. (Some of the older vineyards have garnacha planted alongside the tempranillo). Nurtured 12 months in 225 liter French oak barrels. Nice dark cherry red color with violet tints. Currant & blueberry, licorice, chocolate & brioche toast. El Pionero is the entry level version of Labastida's Manuel Quintano project. Interesting wines, both red & white. [$M] |
