Moravia

The grapes come from old bush vines around Villanueva de Alcardete, where Recuero farms various plots with sandy, clay-rich and gravelly, calcareous soils. The wine is partly matured in used French barriques; for the Calambur range, a gentle, low-intervention approach and no added sulphites are stated. This dry red wine shows dark fruit and spice, with a lively, structured character and a pleasantly fresh finish. The Moravia grape variety, also known locally as Brujidera, is one of the area’s local varieties, now rarely found. Sources: Lavinia, Bodegas Recuero, Vino Con Junior.
