Product Review
Finca el Lince Monastrell begins with fresh and inviting aromas of cherries and red plums which are woven together with spices, wild herbs, smoke and wild florals all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this is medium-plus bodied with silky tannins and a lovely sleek texture leading up to the finish, where red fruits and light spices continue to linger on. A remarkable value and already drinking fantastic. - International Wine Report

Red wine is wine made from dark-coloured grape varieties. The color of red differs based on the grapes variety or varieties used.Interestingly, black grapes yield a juice that is greenish-white. The actual red color comes from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) from the skin of the grape (exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red colored juice). Most of the production centers around the extraction of color and flavor from the grape skin.
