Seleccion Especial

2004 Carinena 34% Syrah, 33% Cabernet, 33% Merlot

The Abrazo Del Toro Reserva Especial Selección Especial from the 2004 vintage hails from the picturesque Carinena region, where the unique climate and terroir contribute to its exceptional character. This red wine, composed of an intriguing blend of thirty-four percent Syrah, thirty-three percent Cabernet, and thirty-three percent Merlot, showcases a harmonious equilibrium of fruit and structure. With a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate, it reveals layers of ripe black fruit, spices, and subtle hints of oak that enhance its complexity. The acidity is vibrant, providing a mouthwatering quality that balances the wine's richness, while the well-integrated tannins impart a notable firmness without overpowering the juicy fruit intensity. As a dry wine, it invites indulgence, making it a perfect companion for hearty dishes or an elegant evening on its own.

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.

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.
