Bodegas San Gregorio Manga del Brujo
Manga del Brujo is made by Norrel Robertson, MW. It's a blend of 65% Garnacha, 15% Syrah, 15% Tempranillo, and 5% Mazuelo aged for five months in French and American oak. The Garnacha component was sourced from high altitude vines over 100 years of age whilst the Tempranillo component came from vines aged over 25 years on average. It is very rich, deep and complex and probably offers more flavour per euro than any other wine we've tasted!

| Making Techniques | Careful temperature controlled fermentation and the collaboration of New World trained winemakers and local knowledge has produced a full bodied, distinctive Rhone blend which marries the Old and New World in terms of style but with a slant towards a meatier, more structured wine. The key to this wine is the long time spent working with the fine lees to obtain length and complexity |
Awards and/or Press Quotes

| Penin Guide | 93 Points |
| Robert Parker | 91 Points. 'Opaque purple-coloured, it offers up a toasty, smoky bouquet with aromas of mineral, black cherry, and blueberry. This is followed by a medium- to full-bodied wine with an elegant personality, a silky texture, intense, savoury blue and black fruit flavours, superb balance, and 2-3 years of ageing potential. This pleasure-bent wine will offer prime drinking from 2011 to 2020.' |
