Habla Nr 25 2019

Wine Description for Habla No. 25 2019 by Habla

Colour & Appearance

An impressive, dense violet-red that reaches almost opaquely to the rim of the glass – a visual statement of the concentration this Malbec brings to the table.

Nose

Opulent and multi-layered, the Habla No. 25 presents itself in the bouquet. Cassis liqueur, blueberry compote and redcurrant jelly form a sweetly fruited foundation, contrasted by more austere notes of sloe and rowan berry. Elegant hints of cedarwood, tobacco, subtle roasted aromas and a whisper of fine dark chocolate complete the composition – an aromatic profile that promises depth and complexity.

Palate

On the palate, this Extremadura Malbec unfolds its full power: opulent fruit meets natural fruitiness and pronounced spice. The tannins are ripe and perfectly integrated into the lush fruit, never dominating. A generous, intense red wine with impressive structure and a mouthfeel that unites substance with elegance.

Finish

Long, spicy and characterised by dark fruit, with a lingering echo of chocolate and spices.

Terroir & Origin

From Extremadura, a still underrated Spanish wine region between Castile and Portugal, where continental climate and sparse soils produce concentrated, characterful wines.

Grape Variety & Vinification

Vinified as a single varietal from Malbec – a grape variety that finds its own expression here in Spain, more powerful and spicy than its Argentine counterparts. The maturation lends the wine structure and depth without overwhelming the primary fruit.

Food Pairing Suggestions

An ideal companion for robust, aromatic cuisine: Grilled beef sirloin with rosemary and potato gratin, Smoked pigeon breast with blackberry jus or Quiche with tomatoes and aubergines for the vegetarian option. It harmonises beautifully with braised meat dishes, spicy stews and mature hard cheeses.

Special Features

A remarkable price-to-quality ratio for a wine of this concentration and complexity. The Habla No. 25 impressively demonstrates that Extremadura ranks among the most exciting discoveries in Spanish winemaking.
