Huerta do Albala Barbazul Tintilla de Rota

Tasting Notes

Barbazul Tintilla de Rota is a distinctive, single-varietal Spanish red wine produced by the Huerta de Albalá winery in Arcos de la Frontera, within the Cádiz province of Andalucía. It is widely celebrated for championing Tintilla de Rota, a rare, indigenous red grape variety that nearly faced extinction before a recent regional revival.

Slender and fresh rather than heavy. It features prominent, well-balanced acidity, firm but elegant tannins, a unique saline minerality driven by its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, and a long, persistent finish.
