Alfredo Maestro (Bodegas y Viñedos Maestro Tejero)
El Rey del Glam Maceracion Carbonica Garnacha
First off, it’s all about this label. Positively gorgeous. Just look at it.
Medium burgundy color cherry red accents. Carbonic maceration is evident immediately and funk just leaps from the glass. Beautiful, sexy funk. Strawberries abound along with plums and raspberries. Dirt is the star of the show. Fresh, funky, dirty dirt. Wet earth and forest bushes are spectacular.
100% Garnacha from Castilla y León and the terroir truly shines here. Fresh and energetic as all hell, this is so much fun. 14.5 but after an hour you’ll never feel it. You’ll be tempted to drink this pretty quickly but resist and it’ll grow and evolve. Blueberries, lemons, and quite a bit of spice on the palate. More strawberries and kumquats glisten. Medium finish that hits just right. Don’t worry about trying to look past the label, it’s all part of the experience.

Fresh and sassy meets rustic berry patch. Snappy acidity too.
