WONDERFUL SPANISH RED FROM GIFTED IMPORTER, STEPHEN BENNETT MW.
A LONG-TIME STAFF AND CUSTOMER FAVOURITE
91/100 | James Suckling.
Patria Chica is a sensational Spanish red blend, brought into NZ by legendary importer Steve Bennett MW. Vino de Pago wines are produced in a small, specific area of Spain and are awarded the "Denomination de Pago", the highest classification of Spanish wine and one that only around 20 wineries currently hold.
Vinted from an interesting blend of tempranillo, garnacha, merlot and cabernet sauvignon, this is plush, luxurious wine that fills your mouth with dark berry flavours and ripe tannins. Time in French oak has imparted subtle spicy notes which are nicely balanced by fresh acidity. We were blown away when we tried this and stellar reviews for previous vintages confirmed what we thought - this is excellent wine that will make Spanish red fans very happy campers.

The winery writes "Intense cherry red colour. Very expressive on the nose with notes of red fruits, blackberries, subtle mineral and spicy notes. On the palate it is fruity and powerful, but friendly, all balanced by a good acidity that gives it freshness. Long and elegant aftertaste."
