Clos Montblanc UNIC Syrah 2020 D.O. Conca de Barbera, 0,75 L

Spain's biggest challenge might lie in its wine marketing, which often lags behind that of its neighbouring countries. Despite this, Spanish wines frequently surpass more expensive competitors but remain undiscovered gems.

Wines from Clos Montblanc exemplify this with their impeccable style, varietal authenticity, and exceptional value.

Take this Syrah, for example; if served blind, its price would surely be underestimated. Deep and dark in the glass, it boasts a spicy nose teeming with red berries and a delightful touch of vanilla. On the palate, it commands attention with its powerful presence—a true mouthful of wine. Juicy and vibrant, it balances well with acidity and freshness. Ripe, robust tannins hint at its potential for graceful ageing. The finish lingers with notes of red berries and spice, leaving a lasting impression.

This is the kind of wine that begs to be served blind to friends, prompting surprise and admiration for its quality versus its modest price tag.
