GRAPE VARIETIES 50% Tannat, 40% Petit Verdot and 10% Merlot WINE TASTING Garcia De La Jara is a red wine produced in Sanlucar De Barrameda, Cadiz. The winery is located by the ocean in an area of sunny winters and cool summers. Garcia De La Jara has intense depth, strong colour and a purple edge. Soft texture, full-bodied, with aromatic notes and a strong lasting finish. Fresh and fruity with hints of balsam and boxwood. The vineyard's proximity to the sea gives it a unique salty touch that aids digestion and invites you enjoy a second glass. Ageing - 3 months in French oak followed by 12 months in bottle. FOOD PAIRING Perfect with red meats, especially Presa Iberica, cured meats and cured cheeses. 12.5% ABV / 750ml / Contains Sulphites

Great wine for keeping in the fridge if you like a cold red. Great service from Basco, ordered at 1230 lunchtime and received before 9am following morning

This is a most unusual wine from a small family owned and operated vineyard on the very South West coast of Spain, an area more famed for sherry production. Cooled by Atlantic breezes, the grapes are 50% Tannat, 40% Petit Verdot and 10% Merlot. The Tannat gives the wine high tannin and a wonderful deep red colour. In an age where 13.5% or even 14% alcohol seems to be becoming the norm, this wine is a relaxing 12.5%. It will go well with Spanish ham and other red meats, but also with lighter dishes. I thought it was one of the most interesting wines I have tasted from Spain.

Favourite wine at my local Tapas restaurant at a great price. Excellent customer service, fast on-time free delivery. Added bonus of an extra 10% off for 1st order. Will definitely be back.
