When four winemakers, Zar Brooks and Elena Golakova Brooks (Dandelion Vineyards), Luis Jiménez García and Nicola Tucci, discovered old Garnacha Tintorera vines in Manchuela, they were shocked to find them being dug up. Their determination to save and celebrate these ancient vines led to the founding of Cien y Pico. The project's name translates to ‘hundred and something’ as a nod to the age of these historic vineyards

The nose reveals ripe black cherry and plum layered with blackberry compote, violets and a touch of sweet spice. Hints of liquorice, cocoa and a subtle savoury edge add complexity. On the palate it is full-bodied and richly textured, with concentrated dark fruit framed by firm yet polished tannins and a fresh line of acidity that keeps the wine balanced. The finish is long and persistent, with notes of dark chocolate, spice and ripe berry fruit.

Grilled Lamb Chops: The rich, savory notes of the wine complement the juicy flavors of lamb. Spicy Chorizo: The wine's intensity balances the heat and spices of chorizo, enhancing the overall dining experience. BBQ Ribs: The wine's robust character stands up to the smoky, sweet flavors of barbecue. Lamb Stew: A hearty stew with tender lamb and spices pairs beautifully with the wine's depth. Aged Manchego: The nutty and creamy texture of this cheese complements the wine's fruitiness.
