Alchemy's The nv is a beautifully made Shiraz from Tierra de Castilla, one of Spain's most historic and innovative wine-producing areas. The vineyards have a hot and dry climate, producing low-yielding fruit of surprising intensity and varietal characteristics. This wine has spent 3-6 months in new American oak barrels, with each 225-litre barrel individually tasted and only the best selected to create a limited Cuvee of The Red. The time in American oak adds a natural underlying sweetness to the complexity of the wine, softening the Shiraz and allowing the tannins and fruit to integrate beautifully. A wonderfully spicy, moreish red wine suitable for both men and women.
