Bhilar, Phinca Encanto 2017


An enchanting red wine made from the forgotten Rufete grape variety from the Sierra de Francia mountains. Light and elegant in the glass, with aromas of red fruit, spices, and a subtle spiciness. The palate is refined and juicy, with fine acidity, soft tannins, and an elegant, mineral finish. A wine that invites you to rediscover the unique character of this almost extinct grape. Perfect with grilled chicken, charcuterie, roasted vegetables, or light game dishes.
