"2020 was a great vintage in the Mediterranean, and the 2020 Albahra, a blend of 70% Garnacha Tintorera from the zone of Almansa and 30% Moravia Agria from Manchuela, showed better than ever. The two grapes fermented separately with part of full clusters in concrete and with indigenous yeasts. The Garnacha matured in concrete and the Moravia in neutral 228-liter barrels for eight months. It has 13% alcohol and good freshness, a fine thread and round tannins. It's juicy and supple—the harvest was easy with great weather, very different from 2019— and the acidity of the Moravia is more polished. The wine has a bright ruby color and is aromatic and clean, precise and attractive. It's medium-bodied and silky with very round tannins. They compare it with 2017. This is one of the most incredible bargains from Spain. Drink or hold. 59,000 bottles and 750 magnums produced. It was bottled in July 2021." - Luis Gutierrez

"One of this producer’s best values, from alicante bouschet/garnacha tintorera, with an array of black and blue fruit, black pepper, dark cherries, graphite and crushed violets on the nose, following through to a juicy, medium-to full-bodied palate that’s full of fleshy fruit. Juicy and elegant, showing great drinkability. Drink now." - James Suckling
