Red Wine Manga del Brujo 2021
Availability: In stock
Crafted by Scotsman Norrel Robertson, MW, the wine Manga del Brujo from DO Calatayud is a blended Spanish red wine made basically from Grenache, sourced from old vineyards, along with 15% Syrah, coming from over 10-year-old vines, 10% Provechón (aka Bobal) from 25-year-old vines, and 5% Mazuela, also known as Carignan.
The varieties were manually harvested and meticulously vinified. After that, the red wine Manga del Brujo 2021 from El Escocés Volante was blended and bottled. It was not aged in oak.
Finally, this red wine from Calatayud was kept for some months in the cellar before hitting the market.

---|---|
Nose | This blend of Grenache, Syrah, Provechón and Mazuela exhibits intense notes of cherries and blueberries, along with toasted notes and hints of spices, some earthy remembrances and aromas of lavender and thyme. |
Palate | As with all of Mr. Robertson's wines, this red wine from El Escocés Volante is remarkably well crafted. Ripe and a bit showy, but nonetheless fresh, a crisp acidity, yummy tannins and long finish with herbs de Provence and ripe forest berries. |
Our personal opinion | The wine Manga del Brujo 2021 is a phenomenal value from Aragón. |
