Bodega de Forlong, Tinto “Petit Forlong”, Cadiz, Andalucía, Spain 2019
{organic} 60% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 10% Tintilla de Rota (Graciano) (Amphora & oak aged)
CRANBERRY, OLIVE, RASPBERRY, BRULEED VANILLA
In such a hot climate, you’d expect a red wine from these grapes to be heavy and alcoholic, but this is a fresh, bright wine which goes down very quickly and deliciously. Fermented in terra-cotta amphora, then aged shortly in oak barrels, this is a lusty, berry aromatic, juicy red to drink with gusto.
Serving Suggestion: Bone-in porkchop lightly topped w/ a picholine & black cherry tapenade, served w/ homemade potato chips.
