Primitivo Quiles Alicante Raspay Tinto 2014
A dark and brooding Spaniard made of 100% organic Monastrell (‘Mourvedre’) from eighty-year-old vines that have grown resistant to the Mediterranean heat of Alicante. The grapes are hand-harvested, totally destemmed and lightly crushed prior to pressing. The resulting wine is complex, floral, and spicy with some hints of leather and tobacco. Delicious and ready to drink now.
