Pour this and you get a glassful of dark cherry and black fruit, a little sweet spice, and tannins with just enough grip to keep things interesting. It's a Spanish red with proper backbone but it never feels heavy or fussy. Basically the bottle you grab when there's grilled meat on the go and good company in the room. Dry, full, and very easy to keep saying yes to.
Stick your nose in and it's wild black cherry, a whiff of herbs, a curl of black pepper. First sip lands on pure black fruit, then a little sweet spice rolls through, and the tannins give a firm, grippy squeeze on the way out. There's bright acidity holding it all together so it stays juicy rather than jammy, finishing dry with a faint minerally edge. Bold, but it knows when to stop showing off.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Manon comes out of La Mancha, the big sun-baked plateau in central Spain, made by the Mano a Mano winery from 100% Tempranillo (the locals call the grape Cencibel). The vines are old and sit up at 660m on deep sandy soils that barely give anything back, just 1-2kg of fruit per vine. Tiny yields like that mean what does grow ends up concentrated and full of flavour. It rests a few months in oak before bottling to round off those edges.
