 De Martino Cinsault Viejas Tinajas DO Secano Interior 2014 

Light purple color. Shy nose that opened with air to give red berries, earth, spices and incense aromas. Flavors of clay, earth, spices then fruit and flowers notes. Reserved for now, this wine haven’t bloomed yet. Very light heat on the finish. Champion in originality, it doesn’t sink on the “funky” side of some naturally made wines. Very good (89)

From ungrafted Cinsault vines planted in the 1980’s and located 22km from the ocean. Aged in old clay amphorae. Alcohol level of 13%
