Pirata Emporda Especial

Origins Spain, Emporda
Style Dry red wine
Grapes Carignan, Garnacha, Petit Verdot, others

This is an unusual find, a multi vintage blend of several grape varieties including Carignan, Garnacha & Petit Verdot. The marriage of these varieties at different levels of maturity works brilliantly and what we have here is a wine packed with ripe, dark, rich fruit ready to drink now. I tasted it with some lightly spiced grilled lamb which worked perfectly but we think this is a very versatile style of wine and will be a big hit drinks parties too. I also found that it really opened out after half an hour in the decanter.
