Description
Bodegas el Angosto is owned by the Cambra family, and located in Finca Santa Rosa, in their restored bodega dating from the 1800’s. Winemaker Rafael Cambra is considered to be one of the best in the south of Spain.
Unashamedly Mediterranean, La Tribu is a blend of Monastrell, Garnarcha, and Syrah grown on stony, organic soils. Complex red and black fruits on the nose, with a layer of spice. Medium body, with ripe fruit and great balance of acidity and tannins, with a touch of oak. Round, well-structured, and full of character. Outstanding value for money.
Rated 90/100 from James Suckling.Variety Description
Mourvèdre
Mourvèdre (also known as Mataró or Monastrell) is a red wine grape variety that is grown in many regions around the world including the Rhône and Provence regions of France, Spain, California and the Australian regions of South Australia and New South Wales. In addition to making red varietal wines, Mourvèdre is a prominent component in "GSM" (Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre) blends. The variety is also used to make rosé and port-style fortified wines. Mourvèdre tends to produce tannic wines that can be high in alcohol.Country Description
Spain
Spain is the most widely wine producing country in the world, but the dry, infertile soil found in many Spanish wine regions makes low yields making Spain only the third largest wine producing country. The country has an abundance of native grape varieties, with over 400 varieties planted throughout Spain though 80 percent of the country's wine production is from only 20 grapes. Major Spanish wine regions include the Rioja and Ribera del Duero which is known for their Tempranillo production; Valdepeñas, known for high quality tempranillo at low prices; Jerez, the home of the fortified wine Sherry; Rías Baixas in the northwest region of Galicia that is known for its white wines made from Albariño and Catalonia which includes the Cava and still wine producing regions of the Penedès as well the Priorat region.
