El Goru 38 Barrels Red Blend 2018 (750 ml)
The El Goru 38 Barrels Red Blend 2018 is a deep ruby red wine, heralded for its complex aromas and profound flavors. This wine has been awarded high ratings from several prestigious wine critics, including a 93/100 from both Wine Enthusiast and The Drink Business, a 92/100 from Guia Peñin, and a 91/100 from Decanter. Its bouquet is characterized by blackberry, Mediterranean herbs, and caramel, while the palate is treated to flavors of black plum, fruits of the wood, and a hint of cranberry. These primary tastes are elegantly supported by undercurrents of dark chocolate, toffee, and marjoram, resulting in a wine with grippy tannins that persist into a lasting finish.
Produced by Ego Bodegas in Jumilla, Spain, the El Goru 38 Barrels is crafted from a carefully selected blend of Monastrell, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The winemaking process involves a meticulous selection of the best grapes, which are harvested at their optimum ripeness and macerated with the skins for 20 to 30 days at a controlled temperature to enhance the wine’s depth and complexity. This wine is noted for its organic certification, emphasizing the winery’s commitment to sustainable viticulture practices.
