El Botijo is a limited production wine straight from a garage in Valdejalon (North East Spain) where Fernando Mora and Mario Lopez make wines with the absolute minimum of fuss. It is named after the ancient clay drinking water container still used by growers today cooling water in Spains hot, dry climate.

The handpicked grapes come from vines that are between 35-45 years old, and only 5% of the wine is aged in 2 - 3 yr old barrels.

A lovely pomegranate red with intense aromas of cherries, blackberries and black pepper on a spicy backdrop. This is an intense, fresh and fruity wine with well-balanced tannins and pleasing minerality, reflecting all the simplicity and ingenuity of its namesake.
