About this WINE
Bodega El Angosto
The Cambra family run property sits at 550m altitude on limestone soils covering 30 hectares in the wine appellation of Valencia, making it a relatively boutique producer compared to most, larger Spanish bodegas. The maritime influence here allows Syrah and Cabernet Franc to flourish, alongside Monastrell (Mourvèdre) and Garnacha.
International white varieties Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Riesling also thrive here. The impressive, affordable wines of El Angosto clearly show the huge potential laying outside Spain’s major wine regions.
Other Varieties
There are over 200 different grape varieties used in modern wine making (from a total of over 1000). Most lesser known blends and varieties are traditional to specific parts of the world.

Description
The blend in 2011 is divided equally between Grenache, Syrah and Marselan, but when one considers that Marselan is itself a hybrid of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon, the algebraic make-up becomes a little more complicated. Be that as it may, this wine is as charming and approachable as ever, wearing its expensive décolleté of 15 months new French oak ageing with considerable aplomb, one may even say dignity.
