Beyond the label

If you love France’s iconic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, then head to the rugged Spanish region of Calatayud, where you’ll also find powerful reds starring Grenache (aka Garnacha).

Manga del Brujo was the first wine Norrel Robertson (a Master of Wine/“MW”) ever made at his El Escocés Volante estate in Aragón. It’s been more than 10 years now, and in addition to huge acclaim nearly every vintage, it’s gained an almost cult-like following with wine fans all over the world. You’ll know why as soon as you taste it…

Norrel Robertson MW sourced grapes from the chalk and clay soils on the slopes of Monte Armantes in the Ribota Valley of Calatayud. It’s a classic Châteauneuf blend of hand-harvested, old-vine Garnacha (70%) and Syrah (15%) plus local star grapes, Provechón (10%) and Mazuelo (5%). After a cool fermentation, it was aged for 20 months in cement tanks (to preserve its intense fruit character).

The 2021 release arrives with multiple 90+ point scores: 92 points from The Wine Advocate, 93 points from critic James Suckling and 94 points from critic Tim Atkin MW. “Attractive mix of red and dark berries, dried orange peel, blue flowers, hints of sea shell and white pepper,” writes James Suckling. “So juicy and mouth-filling with crunchy acidity. Lots of tension and energy here with a bright, berry-soaked finish. The tannins are structured and meaty…Beautiful now, but can hold, too.”

You’ll also discover ripe cherry aromas, plus inviting wild herb notes. The palate is velvety smooth, with earthy notes rounding out the complex finish. It will really come into its own with a special meal, like slow-roasted lamb or braised beef.

With a big history of acclaim and a friendly price tag, this will fly out of our cellar door. Hurry for your share.
