About the producer
Hacienda del Carche is a winery in southeastern Spain with a focus on blended reds that reflect the region's warm climate and traditional winemaking.
About the year
The 2018 vintage in Spain was warm and dry, producing wines with ripe fruit and good concentration. At this age, the wine has softened and the tannin has integrated into a rounded whole.
Grape characteristics
Spanish red blends typically combine local grapes with international varieties to create wines that are approachable, fruit-forward and balanced.
About the region
This part of Spain enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters, ideal for producing full-bodied reds with natural ripeness.
Tasting profile
Expect ripe red fruit, subtle oak influence, and a warm, dry finish. The wine drinks well now and shows the maturity that five years in bottle has brought.
