Marqués De Alicante Cabernet Sauvignon

2012 Alicante Cabernet Sauvignon

The Oak Aged Marqués De Alicante Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage is a stunning expression of the Alicante region's winemaking prowess. This red wine presents a deep, rich color that invites you in with its alluring appearance. The body is full, providing a luxurious mouthfeel that perfectly balances its high acidity, which adds vibrancy and freshness to each sip. The fruit intensity is pronounced, showcasing vibrant notes of dark berries, plum, and subtle hints of blackcurrant. Tannins are firm yet polished, contributing to the wine's structure and ageability. The wine finishes with a delightful dryness, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or a cozy evening by the fire. With its oak aging, this Cabernet Sauvignon beautifully marries rich fruit flavors with toasty undertones, creating a well-rounded and memorable drinking experience.

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.
