Spec sheet
The wine
This wine is the work of the oenologist Gonzalo Gonzalo.
On the label of the Gran Cerdo bottle it is made perfectly clear where the name of this wine comes from and to whom it is dedicated.
“Gran Cerdo is a great wine dedicated to the bank managers who refused us loans claiming that wine was not a seizable asset. Bulky, sweaty characters, dressed in business suits, you will find out one day that the most important things in life can not be confiscated: thanks to our friends, with their help we eventually managed to get the wine bottled. You can now enjoy our lively creation, a bit on the acidic side, so try it with pasta or ham, pork of course.”
NOTE: This wine does not fall under any denomination of origin; it is simply labelled as Vino de Mesa (Table Wine).

I medium bodied fruity red that delivers. Lovely cherry and currant notes. Great value. Drink alone or with friends (have another bottle ready!).
Great red with attitude

great value
Lovely smooth drinkable red wine at a great price!
Big Pig!
I first tasted this wine in a Manchester restaurant that was financed via crowd-funding (you can work out which one yourself). The connection between the problems experienced by the restaurant owner and the Spanish winemaker in being able to borrow money to support their ventures was similar. Whilst crowd-funding was the answer in the UK, I believe it was slightly more problematic in Spain. Anyway, the wine eventually got produced, and the label explains the producer's feelings for bankers. Gran Cerdo = Big Pig. There's a symmetry there, and the wine is absolutely marvellous. Recommended!
Good value
Gran Cerdo is, as usual, a very safe bet. My impression is that it varies quite a lot from a vintage to another. Last vintage i had was slightly wilder. It is still a very interesting bottle of wine: generous fruit, not the usual woody and sweet decadence that ruins too many Spanish wines. This one sticks to the dryer side. Good balance, not that long. No great subtlety nor complexity. But still a very interesting wine. Totally recommended.
