ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
Les Timbes is an organic Mediterranean red from Albet i Noya, the first organic winery in Spain. This blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo grows in the Ordal Mountains, a higher-elevation sub-region of Penedès with shallower loam-clay limestone soils surrounded by forest. Hand-harvested grapes are cold-fermented and aged in French oak to enhance elegance and preserve bright fruit. The wine offers aromas of ripe berries, sweet spices, and cocoa, with a juicy, balanced palate and fresh acidity. Certified organic and estate-grown. Combines two emblematic Mediterranean varieties for complexity and approachability. Aged gently in used French oak for refinement without overwhelming the fruit. Versatile pairing: lamb ribs, duck breast, game stews, aged cheeses, dark chocolate.
