Finca Libertad Pinot Noir 2008
History in the making - presenting our first - and probably the UK's only - Pinot Noir from Spain.
"Silken, fruit filled and gorgeous - make this a month to try something new." (Helen McEvoy, Spain specialist)
Our friend Javier Murúa has been opening our eyes to a side of Spain most wine lovers, even our buyers, never see. His latest revelation: Spanish Pinot - unheard of - and it's a fruit-filled beauty.
You've charm and elegance as befits the great grape of Burgundy but with an extra dimension of ripe fruit. A revolutionary red - don't miss out.
Surprisingly dark with rich plum and cherry flavours and satin-smooth texture. New World-style intensity - it's like Chile, Spain and Burgundy coming together in one wine.
