Compania de Vinos del Atlantico 'Gordo' - Monastrell, Cabernet Sauvignon

This 2020 red wine blend consists of 70% Monastrell and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, hailing from Yecla, Spain. Vinos Atlantico, established in 2002, revived the Mata Winery that shut down in 1972 due to low Malaga wine demand after nearly 200 years of winemaking. Yecla, a small Spanish wine - growing region, is famous for Monastrell, which flourishes there thanks to high altitudes and a perfect climate. Aged in oak for 3 months, this organic, medium - bodied red wine offers rich dark - fruit notes like blackberries. It pairs excellently with pulled pork sliders or a spicy chili.

To enjoy this wine, just open the bottle and pour it into a glass. You can let it breathe for a few minutes to enhance the aroma. When it comes to food pairing, pulled pork sliders or spicy chili are great choices as they complement the wine's dark - fruit flavors. Store the wine in a cool, dark place. Once opened, try to finish it within a few days. If you can't finish it all at once, keep the bottle tightly sealed and refrigerate it. This will help preserve the wine's taste and quality for a bit longer.
