Product Description
Details
Crafted by Scotsman Norrel Robertson, MW, Manga del Brujo from DO Calatayud is a blended Spanish red wine made basically from Grenache, sourced from old vineyards, along with 15% Syrah, coming from over 10-year-old vines, 10% Provechón (aka Bobal) from 25-year-old vines, and 5% Mazuela, also known as Carignan.
Manually harvested, the Grenache and Mazuela grapes were destemmed and fermented in tanks with frequent pump-overs. The Syrah grapes were destemmed and fermented uncrushed in tanks and in used and new French oak barrels. The Provechón was destemmed, crushed and fermented in oak barrels after a brief maceration.
After the completion of these processes, Manga del Brujo 2020 from El Escocés Volante was blended and aged for 5 months in barrels.
Finally, this red wine from Calatayud was aged for some months in the bottle before its commercial release.

My man Norrel has crafted a hell of a wine. He takes the best out of the dry Spanish planes and then makes his Scottish magic to produce a delight such as this. Go Norrel go!!
