The Almate from Alfredo Maestro is a delicious Tempranillo. It didn’t age, it went from a stainless steel tank directly into the bottle. It is young but already in great shape, powerful, with lovely tannins and fruitiness. Lots of blackberries, some cherry and raspberry too.

Alfredo Maestro
Natural wine the “Maestro” way
Alfredo Maestro, Spain’s “natural wine Rockstar” has risen to fame in the natural wine scene way beyond Spanish boarders. This comes as no surprise because in his case “Nomen est Omen”. The “Maestro” in his name speaks volumes of his skills in both his 9 hectares of vineyards and in the bodega, the wine cellar. His vineyards are located in Ribera del Duero, his home region in the province of Castilla-Leon in Northern Spain, and in Navalcarnero near Madrid. In both areas he grows and produces low intervention, organic, magnificent natural wines, with labels so original and funny, we like to keep the bottles on shelves just for decoration.
