Wine Description for Habla Nr 30 2020 by Habla

Colour & Appearance

Deep, luminous purple-red with violet reflections – a wine that signals power and concentration even in the glass.

Nose

The nose is seductive and multi-layered: dark cherries, blackberries and plums form the aromatic foundation, underpinned by elegant notes of tobacco, Mediterranean herbs and a hint of black pepper. Not a trace of over-ripeness – here speaks a Syrah with character.

Palate

On the palate, Habla No. 30 unfolds an impressive combination of power and elegance. The texture is silky, the tannins ripe and well-integrated. What particularly impresses: a vibrant freshness that you wouldn’t necessarily expect from a wine from scorching Extremadura. Not a hint of jam or heaviness – instead precision and depth.

Finish

Long, spicy and persistent. The aromas of dark fruits and spices linger for a considerable time. The alcohol at 14.0% vol. is remarkably well-integrated for the region – you barely notice it.

Terroir & Origin

The grapes grow on clay and chalk-rich soils in Extremadura, south-western Spain – a region whose name is programme: extreme continental climate with scorching summers. It is precisely this intensity that gives the wine its character, whilst the soil composition provides structure and freshness.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Pure Syrah from organic cultivation. The wine was aged for 12 months in French barriques, which impart a fine oak spice without masking its fruit intensity. A wine crafted with impressive skill.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Excellent with chorizo and chickpea stew, but also with grilled lamb loin, wild boar ragout or a robust Iberian pork chop. A wine for the table, not the cellar.

Special Features

In a region known for opulent, sometimes clumsy red wines, Bodegas Habla demonstrates with No. 30 that concentration and freshness need not be contradictory. A wine that elegantly refutes preconceptions about warm climates.
