Anma' Organic Red

Bodegas Ontañón | Spain

Everything you’re looking for in a delicious Spanish red. Ripe red-fruit aromas waft from your glass, rippled with toasty and balsamic notes. And when you sip? Medium-bodied, silky-smooth and completely moreish. That bit of toasty nuance lingering on the finish makes it a brilliant match for our cassoulet recipe overleaf.

About the producer
Family-owned Chozas Carrascal was founded in 1990 as a passion project of Julián López and María José Peidro, both keen to revitalise the area. After 10 years of research they went fully organic and now, under the stewardship of their children, Maria and Julian López-Peidro, the winery is a stalwart of sustainable viticulture. As well as grapes, they encourage the growth of holm oaks, thyme and lavender to aid biodiversity.

About the region
It might not have the following of world-famous Rioja, but Utiel-Requena in Valencia is one to watch. Its natural traits – high-altitudes, Mediterranean climate, protective natural barriers – make this pocket between the Turia and Cabriel rivers well-adapted to organic farming. The local favourite is the Bobal grape, mostly from old vines. But this delicious Syrah-Garnacha blend shows the region’s got more than one trick up its sleeve.

Food and Wine Pairings
Pair this wine with Claire Thomson’s Cassoulet. The supple and mellow character of this wine matches the textures of the dish, whilst the abundance of fruit is a delicious contrast to the savoury, slow-cooked meat.
