The wine

A homage to "Curro", Paco Camarasa, vigneron at the Casa Balaguer estate from which the grapes of this coupage of Cabernet (60%) and Monastrell (40%) are sourced, specifically from the El Cornero and La Arena single vineyards.

A very fresh, elegant and complex nose, with a clean, powerful bouquet highlighting its ripe red fruit aromas, flowers, scrubland and graphite. On the palate it reveals a robust and intense palate, with ripe tannins present, copious fruit, caramel, cinnamon, confectionery and a very elegant mineral hint. Ideal for accompanying grilled red meats and all kinds of Mediterranean dishes.

NOTE: The Rafa Bernabé wines have been produced with minimum intervention, vinified with hardly any handling and in the most natural way possible, without the addition of sulphur and with yeasts from the actual vineyard, and they have not been clarified or filtered. Such a natural production process can result in the wine showing some cloudiness or sediment, and specifically in some vintages more than others. It is therefore advisable to keep the bottle in an upright position for several hours before serving.

Rafa Bernabé

Rafa Bernabé is a man devoted to his land, who loves and respects nature, and works with sincerity and dedication not only to revive the wine-growing heritage of the Alicante region, but also to offer us wines which are a faithful reflection of the whole wine-growing culture that appears forgotten nowadays in so many places on the Mediterranean coast. It seems like a dream come true to be able to look out upon these vineyards, free of invasive urban development, where local...
