Los Dos Red

Los Dos Red - New Label bottle image

Wine Description

The soft berry flavor of old-vine Garnacha from the Campo de Borja DO in Northeastern Spain elegantly expresses the characteristics of the varietal.  Located between the Sierra de Moncayo mountain range and the Ebro River Valley, this historic region has produced wine since the late 12th century. The continental climate is mitigated by the “cierzo” wind that cools the vineyards nightly.

Acclaim
“Spanish for ‘both’ or ‘the two,’ Los Dos celebrates the intricate steps in the dance of winemaking, from the vine and the soil to the winemaker who steps in to carefully harvest the grapes to produce this fruit-forward and balanced wine. The Los Dos Red elegantly expresses the soft berry flavor of old-vine Garnacha from the Campo de Borja DO in Northeastern Spain. With earthy aromas of black cherry, cranberry and subtle smoky overtones, the wine’s palate shows flavors of juicy black raspberry and mulberry with hints of bramble and herb. The wine pairs perfectly with dishes such as beef stew, braised short ribs, or just your typical weeknight standby, like a juicy cheeseburger or a pepperoni pizza.”
