Tasting note
- Colour & appearance
- Purple-red with a youthful sheen; dense, profoundly dark centre that appears black in the glass.
- Nose
- Blackcurrant and dark cherry, accompanied by fine spicy notes and elegantly integrated oak. Fresh, stimulating and remarkably inviting.
- Palate
- Compact and dense, yet without any heaviness. Dark fruit meets velvety tannins, carried by remarkable freshness and inner tension. The interplay of power and finesse recalls great Bordeaux – albeit with an Iberian accent.
- Finish
- Long, spicy and precise on the finish; the minerality of the slate soils lingers.
- Terroir & origin
- Trujillo in Extremadura: slate soils, barren land, scorching summers and icy winters. Conditions that destroy weak vines and drive strong ones to peak performance. Here, where Pizarro once set off for Peru, a project has been taking shape since 1999 that put the region on Spain’s wine map.
- Grape variety & vinification
- A single-varietal Cabernet Franc – a rarity in Spain, with only around 750 hectares planted in total. The destemmed grapes were fermented in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine was aged for twelve months in French barriques.
- Food recommendations
- Ideal with Rabo de Toro (braised oxtail) or fine Jamón Ibérico. A mature hard cheese would also be an excellent match.
- Special features
- Number 27 is released only once and will never be repeated – Habla treats each vintage as an independent work of art. The architecture of the bodega, an award-winning structure of copper and slate, semi-underground and gravity-fed, reflects the same philosophy: wine as a singular expression of its origin.
