This is a red wine made with 100% Tintilla de Rota grapes, elaborated in Puerto de Santa María by Forlong winery. This was a particular vintage, as there was a very Atlantic and fresh climate that resulted in a Tintilla de Rota with less alcohol and lighter in colour. This is the reason why this winery chose clay-amphorae ageing so as to benefit from this variety's freshness and primary aroma.

It has a light cherry colour. On the nose, violet and white flower sensations can be appreciated, as well as acid red fruit (redcurrants) and bay. Black pepper and cayenne can also be smelled.

It is very fresh on the palate, with a pronounce taste and albariza's characteristic salinity.

The recommended service temperature is between 14º and 16ºC. Sediments may be found.

Winery

Forlong, artisan and organic winery, started out in 2007 when 'El olivar de Forlón' estate was purchased, getting back the old vineyard, olive grove and fruit tree plantation lost through the years. The final 'g' that was part of the surname of the former owner, the Brittish Peter Forlong, was also recovered, bringing Forlong back to life, a dream had 'for a long time' that finally came true.
