El Coll

2008 Calatayud Red Blend

Pieza El Coll is a mesmerizing red blend hailing from the beautiful region of Calatayud, known for its rugged landscape and high-altitude vineyards. This 2008 vintage showcases a deep ruby color that hints at the richness within. On the palate, it exhibits a full-bodied character, enveloped by vibrant acidity that brings a refreshing lift to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, revealing layers of dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, beautifully complemented by subtle notes of spice and earthiness. Tannins are not overly firm, providing a smooth, approachable structure that enhances the overall drinking experience. This wine is expertly dry, allowing its complex flavors to shine without overpowering sweetness, making it an excellent choice for pairing with hearty dishes or simply enjoyed on its own.

Spain

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
