Wine Description:
Barahonda Carro, a D.O. Yecla red wine crafted by Bodega Barahonda, blends Monastrell, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot from 30-year-old vines on limestone, sand, and clay soils. Ideal with tapas or a barbecue, it combines sweetness and structure, offering exceptional value. Situated in the transition zone between highlands and the Mediterranean, Barahonda benefits from a continental climate with cold temperatures due to surrounding mountains. The winery currently owns 150 hectares of vineyards and oversees an additional 600 hectares managed by its technical team. Pros:
- Rich and full-bodied with a velvety texture
Cons:
- May be too bold and powerful for those who prefer lighter wines
Wine Expert Note:
Barahonda Carro is a red wine that is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a truly remarkable drinking experience. On the nose, Barahonda Carro offers a captivating bouquet of ripe dark fruits, such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with subtle hints of spices and oak. These aromas create a sense of depth and complexity, inviting you to explore further. Upon tasting, this wine reveals a harmonious balance between fruitiness and structure. The luscious flavors of black cherries and raspberries dance on the palate, accompanied by well-integrated tannins that provide a velvety texture. The oak aging adds a touch of vanilla and smoky undertones, enhancing the overall complexity. Barahonda Carro boasts a medium to full body, with a long and satisfying finish that leaves a lasting impression. It is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, including grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.Taste Flavor
