Ego Bodegas Acuma Red 2020

"Intense, dark cherry-red colour with purple edges. High layer. Clean and bright. Dense tear that lightly dyes the glass. On the nose it is powerful, very intense and fresh. Initially, the elegant notes of Crianza appear, toasted and balsamic. When opened, the black fruit and a touch of very ripe red fruit is exposed, almost jam, at some point liquorice with a spicy and creamy lactic. Fine floral tobacco touches. In the mouth it is powerful and well- structured, fresh and very sweet. Surrounding entry with a smooth and rich taste." —winemaker

"Dark ruby red in colour with hints of purple. Aroma of red fruits, with toasted notes and hints of raisins. In the mouth it is full-bodied and potent, concentrated and reminiscent of preserves and cocoa. Very long and well-balanced aftertaste." —winemaker

"Good everyday wine. Corriente is our tribute to an unofficial and traditional wine classification in use in our region during the early XXth century, which we found very interesting: “Corriente” (common, everyday) wines vs. “Selecto” (select) wines. A wine that is neither deceitful nor ostentatious, Corriente is a simple and approachable wine that represents a region, its culture and of course its wine." —winemaker

"Rubielos de Mora is a youthful, fruit-driven red wine with good ripeness but also exceptional freshness and acidity, and is both juicy and light at the same time. It’s a fresh, tasty, and easy-to-drink new-school Mediterranean wine. We simply couldn’t ask for more." —winemaker
