Los Conejos Malditos Tempranillo 2020

The biggest threat to these old, organic Tempranillo vines are not the extreme conditions they face each year - whipping winds, blistering heat, bitter cold, lack of rain - it is rabbits! Cute as they may be, the destruction they cause is massive, taking out entire hectares of vineyards each year.

But whatever your view on the adorable cuddly pests, this carbonic Tempranillo from Bodegas Mas Que Vinos in La Mancha is a winner: funky dark fruit on the nose, with espresso roast and clove. Minty black cherries and leathery agricole on the palate. Fresh and juicy throughout, a fantastic value for a natural red.
