Las Jaras - Glou Glou 2023

This is the 7^th installment of the Glou Glou series, which was created to be the perfect wine for circle foods (pizza and burgers). The 2023 edition of this light red is so juicy and delicious – a home run! The vintage yielded a Zinfandel and Carignan crop with very large and juicy berries; a fresh and enchanting wine.

This Glou Glou is certainly a food wine, in fact, it begs for food. It has enough acid to stand up to your favorite tomato sauce, as well as intense berry notes that perfectly complement the char of a burger or perfectly cooked pizza crust. Serve this slightly chilled, and you will be the hero of your next backyard barbecue—this is the most refreshing red wine ever, and the perfect antidote to long summer days and the heat of the grill. On the nose it is a sea of aromatic black plum, red licorice and raspberry with undertones of clove and hawthorn as it opens up in the glass. On the palate is intense and fleshy with flavors of red plum, hibiscus, pomegranate, and cocoa powder with a long spicy finish.
