Tasting Notes: A co-production by Spain's renowned Juan Gil family and Canadian-born winemaker Natalie Bonhomme, El Petit Bonhomme is a well-made, easy-drinking, North American-palate friendly blend of 55% Monastrell, 30% Garnacha and 15% Syrah sourced from mature vineyards in the Jumilla region of Spain. Fruity on the nose with aromas of cherry and blackcurrant supported by savoury notes like pipe tobacco, menthol, anise, oak and spices. The palate offers similar flavours and rounded tannins and tangy, citrus acidity. Would pair beautifully with grilled, sweet'n'spicy ham dishes. Enjoy this wine in its youth. Drink now-2016.
