Red
Cantamuda Finca La Cebolla
Briones Abbad · D.O. Ribera del Duero
A clean, brilliant, deep cherry red with garnet hues. Intense and complex on the nose, with well-defined red and black fruit on a spicy background, toasted oaky notes of coffee and chocolate, and a final touch of liquorice. Intense and mouth-filling on the palate, powerful and meaty, with confiture-fruit and spicy toffee notes, well-defined liquorice, and an enveloping, round, creamy finish.
Pairs with: Roast lamb, beef tenderloin and game dishes. Its single-estate character and structure call for deeply flavored meats and traditional preparations.

About Briones Abbad
Makers of the Cantamuda wines: a family project of Carmen and Luis Ángel in Ribera del Duero, from their own vineyards around La Horra, near Roa: high-altitude sites such as La Trinitaria and El Pino at 810–820 m, on sandy, calcareous and gravelly soils. Everything is hand-harvested into 15 kg boxes and selected twice, in the vineyard and again at the winery. In 2018 the family bought and restored their old store at the Roa railway station, built around 1956.
