This wine comes from an 18th century estate which lay dormant for many years before being bought & revived by Bodegas Martín Códax in 2003. ' Pizarra' is the Spanish for slate, & here refers to the slate that characterises the rocky, mineral-rich soils of Bierzo. A deep cherry red with violet reflections. Lively on the nose, with aromas of strawberry, plum & blackberry, & subtle floral lift. The fruit-filled palate has elegant & restrained tannins. Partner with herbaceous lamb cutlets, or pasta dishes with fresh tomato sauces.
