Spanish Star


Altos De La Hoya from the Jumilla Region in Spain. This little number will surprise and delight! Not only will it stand up to food pairings but it is not too shabby on its own. Squid-ink purple color, dark berries, lavender, with a touch of minerals. The focused finish features pure berries. Here's another crazy reason to buy this wine..." Sustainable Farming"! At around $7 for this little gem I would suggest you buy all you can carry in that car you drive!
What is sustainable farming you ask? Read on and I will put it in its simplest term. Sustainable agriculture integrates three main goals--environmental health, economic profitability, and social and economic equity. People in many different capacities, from farmers to consumers, have shared this vision and contributed to it. In a nut shell... what you do to the land you are growing on you give back. Save it for future generations, treat it with respect and dignity. As a wise man once said, "Give and you shall receive".
Cheers!
