The Wine
Big Red El Bombero has been a top choice with customers for over 20 years. And in seriously good vintages, like 2012, winemaker Javier Domeque crafts a sophisticated Gran Reserva version using the pick of the crop from his oldest vines. To qualify for Gran Reserva status, the wine was aged in oak for three years with further time in bottle prior to release. It’s made entirely from Garnacha, an important component of many full bodied Spanish reds, and also of Châteauneuf du Pape from neighbouring France. At 14% vol, it’s a touch less powerful than El Bombero itself but full of rich berry flavour and with delicious spicy complexity from American oak. The 2012 is perfect right now. Just decant for an hour and serve with roast shoulder of lamb.
