Caballo Oscuro Reserva 2016 - A Legacy of the Ebro Valley

Embrace the richness of time with the Caballo Oscuro Reserva, a dry red wine that stands as a monument to the age-old traditions of Spanish winemaking. This Reserva is a harmonious composition, a reflection of the patient transformation of Garnacha grapes under the tempering influence of American oak.

Rooted in History: Tracing the lifeblood of northeast Spain, the Ebro river weaves through the heart of the nation's most illustrious wine-growing regions. This journey, which begins in the shadow of Rioja and unfolds through the diverse terroirs of Navarra, Campo de Borja, Calatayud, Cariñena, and down to the sun-kissed Mediterranean shores, has fostered vines that give birth to wines with stories to tell.

Evolution in a Bottle: The 2017 vintage captures the maturity of Garnacha, a varietal that deepens in character and complexity with time. Extended aging in American oak barrels bestows upon this Reserva a spectrum of sophisticated notes - from the spice of ancient markets to the subtle smokiness of a distant flame, creating a profile that intrigues and enchants.

Sensory Journey: This Reserva showcases the layered transformation of Garnacha, starting with a nose rich in cooked fruits that segues into a garden of mint and herbs, finally culminating in a gentle waft of smoke. The palate is a testament to balance: a soft, fruity entry, bolstered by a lively acidity and a robust structure, all converging into a long, commanding finish.

A Toast to Time: With an alcohol content of 14.5%, the Caballo Oscuro Reserva is a bold yet graceful companion to a myriad of culinary experiences, or a poignant pleasure when savored on its own. It's not just a wine; it's an odyssey that pays homage to the enduring spirit of Garnacha and the timeless craft of the winemaker's barrel.

Uncork the legacy of the Ebro valley with Caballo Oscuro Reserva and let each sip convey you through the annals of Spanish viticulture.

Caballo Oscuro Garnacha  Syrah 2022 - A Testament to Timeless Terroir

Step into the essence of the Ebro valley with the formerly named Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha, a dry red wine that is both a tribute to its storied origins and a celebration of vinicultural artistry. Sourced from venerable vines that have witnessed the passage of time, this Garnacha is a deep dive into the soul of Spain's most cherished wine regions.

From the Heart of the Ebro: Meandering through the landscape of north eastern Spain, the Ebro river is a lifeline for a mosaic of wine-growing regions known for their Garnacha. From the hallowed soils of Rioja to the storied terrains of Navarra and beyond, the river's journey through these lands has given rise to wines that encapsulate the vibrancy and spirit of the Mediterranean.

Vintage Virtues: In 2022 we once again saw a relatively mild winter and rainy spring, but then there was very little rain for the whole of a very long, hot summer so the harvest was a fortnight earlier than usual, of healthy, properly ripened grapes.

A Palette of Flavors: In the glass, the Caballo Oscuro Garnacha Syrah exhibits a deep, penetrating red, signaling the concentrated hues from old vines. Approach the bouquet and be captivated by robust scents of fresh blackberries and ripe cherries, punctuated by a peppery spice that beckons further exploration. The palate is greeted with a full-bodied richness, where the lush fruit leads the charge towards a broad, yet finely structured flavour profile. Each sip concludes with a long, juicy finish that lingers with intent, a testament to the wine's graceful maturity without the intrusion of harsh tannins.

Imbibe with Intention: At 14% alcohol, this Old Vine Garnacha stands as a robust yet accessible red, ready to elevate any dining experience or to be savoured on its own. It's a wine that respects its lineage, embodies its environment, and promises to be as enduring as the ancient vines it hails from.

Indulge in the Caballo Oscuro Old Vine Garnacha and uncork a bottle of history, one that flows as richly as the river that nourishes its roots.
