    Is it Monastrell?
  • David j · 2 years ago
    Probably- but it could be Bobal, also...




    (Bobal I *think* is not as deep-hued, though)

    You're on the right track but think outside the box.

    We've got a WINNER! Well done Jill! Your keen detective skills, picking up on the phrase "tinted hands", have made you our official Iberian Grape Guru!

    actually, I remember Ryan having twittered this week about enjoying garnacha tintorera, and didn't even pick up on the "tinted" clue. So I may not deserve the official title as of yet! I also have to say, while I enjoy the GT grape and we have one in our inventory, nobody else seems to have any desire to try it...even though it's a bargain basement wine. Oh well!

    Jill maybe you just need to call it Alicante Bouschet? Same grape but better known. Look for more info on it in the coming days...Cheers, r
