Sensibel by name but certainly not by nature, the By Latue Sensibel (another name for Tempranillo) has all the rich depth of flavour that you would expect from this noble variety. This is a juicy and versatile medium-bodied red from central sunny Spain that has crunchy red fruit with delicious black cherry flavours. It’s smooth on the palate with soft ripe tannins and just a hint of toasty oak to balance. This wine is a tribute to the ancestors of the winemakers at Bodegas Latue, who called the Tempranillo grape variety ‘Sensibel’.

The signature Piqueras Black Label is produced in the region of Almansa, located on high slopes in southeast Spain. Dry and calcareous soil, scarce rain and long periods of sunshine produce grapes with high concentration, deep colour and full of rich aromas. This rich red is made from 50% Monastrell and 50% Syrah and aged for 4-6 months in 300 litre fine grain oak barrels. Medium-bodied on the palate with flavours of ripe red cherries, raspberries, crushed boysenberries, red plums and a touch of vanilla spice on the nose. Lively and elegant with a silky finish. Enjoy on its own or with grilled, roasted or fried dishes, barbecues, charcuterie and richer cheeses.

This Monastrell is handpicked from selected plots of 30-year-old bush vines between 600 – 700 meters in Altitude. The vineyards are all dry farmed to reduce water usage. Fermentation is spontaneous from the grapes natural yeasts and the wine does not see any addition of sulphites giving pure varietal character. This is a fresh, fruity and flavoursome wine. The nose is full aromas of like red berries, spices, and hints of balsamic. The palate is smooth with elegant tannic structure and a supple finish
