Description
From the cutting-edge indie collective Spanish Palate comes Los Conejos Malditos Tempranillo, a 750mL bottle that turns classic Rioja expectations on their head with playful energy and serious craftsmanship. Sourced from organically farmed bush vines rooted in the sandy, high-altitude soils of Castilla y León, this 100 % Tempranillo is fermented with native yeasts and bottled unfiltered to let the grape speak for itself. In the glass it shows a luminous garnet color with violet flashes, releasing aromas of crushed blackberry, wild strawberry, dried herbs, and a dusting of cocoa. The palate is juicy and medium-bodied, balancing bright red-fruit freshness with supple tannins and a subtle smoky lick from a short rest in neutral French oak. Hints of black pepper, licorice, and stony minerality trail into a lively, mouth-watering finish that begs for another sip.
Los Conejos Malditos—“the cursed rabbits”—pairs brilliantly with anything you’d chase from your garden: think rosemary lamb chops, charred vegetables, mushroom paella, or a simple plate of manchego and jamón. Serve it slightly chilled to accentuate its vibrant fruit.
