Tabuca 2023
The wine Tabuca is the entry-level red of bodega Gil Pejenaute, named after his founder and manager, the experienced winemaker Javier Gil Pejenaute.
This varietal Spanish red wine is sourced from vineyards with clay-iron and sandy soils around 40 years old. They are located on the outskirts of Tabuenca, in DO Campo de Borja, Aragón, an area with a Continental climate at roughly 700 metres above sea level.
The hand-picked grapes were fermented in open vats, after which this red wine from Campo de Borja was aged for 10 months in 500-litre French oak barrels. After bottling, the red wine Tabuca 2023 was kept for some months in the cellar before being released onto the market.

|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Grenache is moderately ripe, scented and expressive, suggesting aromas of pure red cherry fruit, wild herbs and sweet spices, with a dash of Cointreau, liquorice and some wild flowers. |
| Palate | Medium-bodied and balanced, this wine of bodega Gil Pejenaute carries lovely red berries with a spicy and floral edge to the red fruit, with some powdery tannins and a tense, linear acidity leading to a long finish with candied citrus and herbs. |
| Our personal opinion | The wine Tabuca 2023 is a noteworthy Grenache wine halfway between Priorat and Gredos. |
