Habla la Tierra 2022

Wine description for Habla la Tierra 2022 from Habla

Colour & appearance

Presented in a transparent cherry red colour with lively reflections - a visual prelude that already heralds the modern, light-hearted style of this Spanish red wine.

Nose

The bouquet convinces with clear contours without superfluous ballast. Raspberry and Blackberry dominate the fruit spectrum, complemented by sweetish notes of Fig and Mulberry. The nose is refreshingly direct and deliberately avoids opulent heaviness - a successful statement for the new Spain.

Palate

With only 13% alcohol, this Extremadura wine shows remarkable restraint for the climatic conditions of the region. The cuvée from Tempranillo, Syrah and cabernet sauvignon reveals juicy fruitiness, carried by elegant, soft tannins. The acidity is skilfully integrated and gives the wine a pleasant tension. The four-month maturation in French barriques remains discreetly in the background - the wood blends seamlessly into the overall composition without dominating.

General information

Habla La Tierra acts as an accessible introduction to the winery's portfolio and epitomises the shift towards more transparent, less heavy Spanish red wines.

Food pairing suggestions

The slender, fresh style makes this red wine a versatile food companion. It harmonises particularly well with Aubergine stewbut also to grilled vegetables, Pasta with tomato sauce or Mild cheeses an excellent choice.

Special features

The excellent price-pleasure ratio makes this wine a smart discovery. It impressively demonstrates how modern Spanish winemakers prioritise elegance and drinking flow over power and concentration - a welcome paradigm shift that opens up new perspectives for wine lovers.
