Monastrell meets Syrah

Deep red in color and fruity and spicy on the aroma. The flavor is full, smooth, and juicy, with ripe red fruit and a hint of oak. The finish is fragrant, with ripe fruit and spices. Slightly chilled, it's an ideal aperitif wine, also delicious with tapas, pizza, or pasta.

Almansa at its best

A love of good food and drink is deeply ingrained in Spanish culture. Spaniards love to share this passion during "el picoteo": the time of day to gather for a good drink and some delicious tapas. The question "qué tenemos de picoteo?" ("What's for dinner?") is likely asked at least once a day.

The El Picoteo Tinto from winemaker Juan Pablos Cantos of Almansa is not only a tribute to this fine Spanish tradition but also a perfect candidate for this aperitif. With its smooth, fruity character, this delicious red wine is an ideal aperitif, especially when paired with some tasty tapas.

El Picoteo is made from organically grown and hand-harvested Monastrell and Syrah grapes. Due to the vineyards' high altitude, the grapes retain their juicy and fresh character. To give the wine a little extra body, the red Picoteo is aged in oak after fermentation.

It produces a delicious organic Spanish wine that's also very competitively priced. Ideal, as it allows you to practice the art of "el picoteo" daily.
