Region: Spain, Castillo La Mancha
Grape Variety: Tempranillo
Background: El Gringo was a famous for being the “the Western extra of a thousand faces”. This American actor, a living example of the perennial extra, disappeared from US screens overnight, never to return. A huge aura of mystery surrounds his story. Tongue-waggers say that he was the victim of evil deeds, while others simply say that he travelled to Spain and stayed there for love. In the United States, the only thing known about his whereabouts is confirmed in an actor’s note found in his flat the day he disappeared. It was a Spanish spaghetti Western, “Indian Troubles”, where he played the cowboy “Outsider Bill”. And the legend sprang up at that very moment.
Tasting Notes: Clear deep ruby-purple colour. Clean and distinguished aromas of black cherries, strawberries, roasted coffee beans and chocolate. These berry jam flavours attack the palate with juiciness getting smoothed out with light vanilla and delicate milk chocolate and roasted Java beans. On the palate the wine is luscious, full-bodied with firm but ripe velvety tannins and a long finish.
