2015 Rufete, De Haan Altes, 'El Becario'


Rafael De Haan has spent the last 10 years sourcing wines across Spain for his excellent negociant business, Bodegas Abanico. In the process he fell in love with Spanish terroir, especially some lesser known appellations and unusual varietals. This inspired him to launch the De Haan Altes Custom Cuvees project. Rafael partners with local winemakers he has known for years to craft unique, exceptionally-made cuvees that are the ultimate expressions of their respective terroirs.


An aromatic and discreet red wine coming from Salamanca, Spain with gooseberry and raspberry notes. Light in style but quite complex with a vanilla scent and floral aromas. Perfect match with Caesar Salads, Grilled Chicken, Fish or Pork.


You can find it for £19.49 at https://bancroftwines.com/product/el-becario-salamanca-de-haan-altes-for-delivery-2015/


''At the end of the day, you really can’t make a wrong choice.
As long as you pay attention to what it is that you don’t like about a wine
each bottle will get you closer to what you do like.
Take it one glass at a time!''
