Velvety and tasty. The vibrant red colour translates into rich aromas and flavours of cherry, blackberry and spices. This well structured wine integrates nuances of oak wood with round tannins to provide a rich palate with very fruity flavours.

Garnacha 70% and Tempranillo 30%.

Authentic, small scale artisan winemaking is practiced in Bodega Jesus Romero of Rubielos de Mora. Jesus is a lover of good wines and his local town of Teruel and the surrounding land within the province of Aragon. Along with winemaker Juan Vicente Alcañiz and his father Vincent this wine has been crafted from Garnacha, Tempranillo and Syrah. It sees no oak ageing and is not clarified, stabilised or filtered.

"The young and unoaked 2022 Rubus (Juanvi in the US) is a blend of approximately 70% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo and 10% Syrah that fermented and matured in concrete to keep the fruit-driven and juicy character. 2022 was a warm and dry year, but he still managed to keep the alcohol to a moderate 13.7%. Despite the parameters, there is a sense of ripeness, probably from the warm year, and the wine is primary and juicy, with a soft mouthfeel."
