This rich, dark red stars Garnacha Tintorera – usually used to bolster other red wines – with a dash of Shiraz for spice. Black Red fans, this one’s a gem.\u003cbr\u003eSpain’s Alicante region was once plagued by fierce pirates – including the legendary ‘Red Beard’, or Barbarossa. We can’t say for sure if they left any hidden booty, but we did uncover a treasure trove of gnarled old vines yielding tiny quantities of intensely flavoured grapes. Our buyer, Becca, was visiting winemaker Pamela Geddes when she spotted a single plot of Garnacha Tintorera. This grape is usually blended into other Spanish reds to add richness – but Becca persuaded Pamela to bottle it as the star. The result? A deep, rich red, with just a dash of Shiraz for gentle spice. Brimming with blackcurrant and spicy bramble fruit, Barbarossa is a must-try for Black Red fans.","brand":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52877937967215,"sku":"4426824","price":169.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/9588\/9263\/files\/4426824.png?v=1776851493","url":"https:\/\/www.directwines.com.hk\/products\/hermanos-barbarossa-2024","provider":"Laithwaites Direct Wines HK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
