Bambera de Barbadillo Tinto 2020

Southern Spain may be the stronghold of sherry, but it's also proving its worth with deliciously fruity table wines. Montse Molina, winemaker at the family owned Barbadillo, is largely responsible, with Golds to show for it. Indeed, this red under its local label has won two! Montse’s wines are terrific value – so much flavour and balance. And, unlike the magnificent traditional sherries the family also makes, she likes to break the rules and use international grapes. Here Montse adds juicy Merlot and spicy Shiraz to the smooth and berry-filled native star Tempranillo. Picking at night and cool fermenting, she’s captured the brightness of the fruit. A charming red for sipping solo, at a barbecue, with lighter vegetarian dishes or chicken.
