This is made from an obscure grape called Pardina, and what results is a moderately pleasant but soft product. Hailing from hot, dry land in east-central Spain, it’s largely dilute and innocuous but at the same time wet, melony and mildly refreshing.

Austere aromas of wintergreen, lemon peel and cola don’t allow for much fruit to escape, and the palate is literally as hard as nails. The mix is Tempranillo, Graciano and Cabernet Sauvignon and it’s anything but a mellow ride. Extremely tannic and tough to swallow.
