Our much loved summer red wine Alaro in its second vintage

Last year we created a Grenache based light and fresh red wine that was sent out together with the whites and rosé, only half a year old and you all loved it so we decided to do it again! 

Following the wise saying " Why fix it if it ain´t broken" we did an almost identical copy of last years Alaro with 87% of fresh and vibrant Grenache spiced up with 13% lush and rich Merlot from barrel. The Grenache was kept in steel tank to preserve its primary fruit and energy the best way possible and the Merlot aged for some 6 months in a French oak barrel to soften up and gain further complexity. The two met eachother in total harmony in one of our very first blending sessions and as it once again seemed like a match made in heaven we did not fickle any further with the wine. 

How to best enjoy 2022 Alaro

Tasting note written by Marie 

 What to serve with Alaro

Almost everything or nothing at all… This is truly an all-round wine, but I cannot help dreaming about serving this with a great carpaccio, super classic with parmesan and a handful of rocket leaves and the best possible olive oil! 

When, where and with whom

As mentioned above this is like the most versatile red wine you can possibly find and the perfect choice for that glass of wine when you just cannot help it... We ourselves love sipping Alaro while cooking! But also when you have friends over for a pot-luck get-together and need a wine that can handle a bit of everything and is capable of making everyone smile at the same time.
