GOLD MEDAL: Gilmours International Wine Competition
93 POINTS & 5 STARS: Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
90 POINTS: Bob Campbell MW
"Offering excellent varietal expression, this delightfully appealing wine shows dark plum, spiced cherry, olive and dried flower aromas on the nose, followed by a silky-smooth palate delivering rounded mouthfeel and supple tannins. Upfront and charming with fabulous drinkability."
- Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Deliciously drinkable and appealingly rustic Grenache with plum, berry, anise, violet, mocha and leather flavours supported by ripe, peppery tannins. Great value at this price."
- Bob Campbell MW
The popularity of this wine seems to never wane and this recently released 2021 continues the same consistent good quality and value that made it so popular in the first place. El Burro (The Donkey) is a big and ripe wine filled with rich fruit flavours and a nice warm spicy character. A little time in American oak adds a vanilla smoothness and a toasty, spicy touch to the vibrant, dark berry and chocolate flavours. Made by the flying Scotsman of winemakers, Norell Robertson MW from old, dry grown bush vine Garnacha (Grenache) grown in the Navarra region of North East Spain.
ABV: 14%
