Mahara

Parker Guide: 91 points of 100. This was the grateful surprise that they were given the 31^th December, 2014, with their first production, it was the best red wine of the county of Cádiz.

“José” and “Migue” are two brothers of Isla de San Fernando, they are in love with their land and the world of wine and its elaboration. Both studied the chemistry course, but changed all that for the oenology, and went to travel the world to learn (California, Chile, New Zealand, Italy ...) to later return to their land to shape their dream.

And it is from this dream that Mahara is born, a wine produced by the artisan with the own grape of the land, the Tintilla de Rota, according to explain: "because we are convinced that wine must be made with the grapes of the site, A variety of native grape, of good maturation, with an optimum degree of alcohol that leaves on the palate a florid and aromatic aftertaste ".

"We do not use any machinery, every manual, we even step on the grape" and the main secret is the love when it comes to creating it. "I always say that wine is like my son, and that's how I treat it," Migue tells me.

Mahara is a wine that needs exactly 9 months of aging and prolong this aging for more than a year in the bottle. According to me, ready for the consumer and does not need rest. "To the mouth comes a pleasant flavour, to accompany it with products of the province, poultry and fish such as tuna or snapper." I qualify as elegant, delicate, with soft texture, with a salty little point that comes to the mouth at lunchtime "explains Mígue.

You can tell this while serving:  When I asked him where the name of the wine came from, they told me that they named it "first, because it is a very earthy word, and we make it clear that it is a red wine from Cadiz. We told our friends the project, they told us that we were "majaras" (too crazy).
