Prieto Picudo
Filter
Prieto Picudo is a less common and unique red wine grape that is mainly grown in the Northern region of Leon in Spain. Prieto Picudo can be seen in blends with the Mencia grape. It can be compared to Tempranillo wines and is also a component in the production of Rose wines. The name “Prieto Picudo” is derived from the word “Prieto” which means “dark” in Spanish, and the word “Picudo” which means “pointed”. This is directly related to the small and compact bunches that are tapering at the bottom. The grape is sometimes referred to as a pine nut shape. Prieto Picudo produces a concentrated color and powerful aroma. It has moderate acid and tannin with mineral attributes and as well as notes of vanilla and toast. When produced as a Rose, it can give a fruity nose with notes of strawberry and raspberry. It can also give citrus tones like peach and sometimes flowers. It has excellent versatility in the bottle, with the capability to be consumed young, or allowed to age. Prieto Picudo pairs beautifully with seafood and pasta.

Intense ruby color of high layer with garnet edge, clean and shiny. Intense nose that, from the beginning, transmits complexity, penetrating, with aromas of black fruits, blueberries and currants, undergrowth, roasted memories, toffee, coffee powder, liquorice, cloves, vanilla and lebanese cedar. Mouth with freshness and balance, with tannins ripe and creamy, which highlight its elegance, with a step harmonious and intense. Long and pleasant aftertaste, with a great variety of balsamic and spicy memories.
Review:
The old-vine component of the El Otero parcel, running to around seven hectares, supplies the fruit for this ageworthy Tinto Fino. After a frost-induced break in 2017, it's back with interest in 2018. Aged in new French oak, but not dominated by the wood, it's a finely judged red from Julio Sáenz with notes of blackberry and tangerine, filigree tannins and a long, textured finish. 2023-33

Schramsberg Brut Rosé is fruitful, complex and dry, making it both versatile with food and delicious by itself as an apéritif. The character of the wine is most strongly influenced by bright, flavorful Pinot Noir grown along the coast from southern Mendocino County to northern Marin County.
Reviews:
"These bubbles are fresh and zesty, with aromas of strawberry, raspberry, apricot, orange creamsicle and blood orange zest on the nose. Creamy, super-firm and tiny bubbles mark the midpalate, while flavors of pink grapefruit and guava overtake the mouthfeel. The massive acidity, salinity and mouthwatering finish make one want to eat and drink more."
