"The . . . Muti Caiño (100%) of which one barrel was produced. Despite the scarcity, it is so singular that it merits a note. The nearly extinct Caiño grape is characterized as light in color, low in alcohol, and high in acidity. The wine was aged for 12 months in 5-year-old French oak . . . . a lean, elegant, racy wine that bears a passing resemblance to a high quality Cabernet Franc from the Loire Valley. The wine’s balance and concentration suggest that it will drink well . . ."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
