LUCKY GRAPE

Description

BLACKBERRY 🫐 | SPICY 🌶️ | EARTHY 🍄

This 2022 red wine is an expressive blend of 60% Rufete and 40% Jaén, handcrafted by André Duque Lourenço in a small edition of only 1,500 bottles. Grown on granite soils under the extreme conditions of the Central Iberian climate, this wine combines tension and elegance.

The grapes are harvested by hand and crushed by foot in traditional lagares, then fermented spontaneously and without temperature control. After natural stabilization in stainless steel, the wine rests in the bottle for two years to allow the aromas to develop slowly and harmoniously.

In the glass, it displays a deep ruby ​​red. Aromas of ripe mulberry, blackberry, and wild herbs blend with leather and warm spice notes. On the palate, it's dry and medium-bodied, with fine tannins, moderate acidity, and a complex, earthy finish. Spicy and floral nuances develop with aeration, making each sip both grounded and vibrant.

A wonderful accompaniment to umami-rich dishes, mushroom dishes, red meat, game, and anything that requires earthy, mineral depth.
