La Fea Red | Carinena, Spain
An unoaked blend of 40% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha plus 20% Syrah.
Local legend has it that in the middle of the 19th century a noblewoman of vast culture and exotic beauty (reputably an unusual combination at the time) resided in the area. She lived in her castle surrounded by books and teachers.
Her taste for literature, the arts, mathematics, philosophy and science kept her away from the activities other nobles engaged in. Learning to embroider or preparing to get married and be a mother were not in her plans. She preferred to ride horses, collect leaves for her botanical collections, or study the classics.
At odds with the canons of the time there soon began rumours and gossip, and a nickname that would accompany her all her life – La Fea; an endearing, teasing, slang use of the meaning ugly or bad.
This wine is inspired by the La Fea legend, and by all those great people who veer off the usual path, break the rules and fight against normality to follow their own destiny.
