Profile & Story

Bodega Picos de Cabariezo works from Cabezon de Liebana, in the mountains of Cantabria. Finca Morillas is produced mainly from Mencia with a small contribution of Syrah, from old mountain vines harvested by hand at slight over-ripeness, and aged, depending on the year, for about twelve months in French oak barrels, kept deliberately in the background so the terroir expresses itself easily and elegantly. It is an Atlantic-styled red that retains all its fruit and final freshness. Awards include 92 points and five stars in the Penin Guide 2017 and gold at the International Wine and Spirits Awards in 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Tasting Notes

Garnet cherry colour with a light violet rim, and an elegant, powerful and persistent aroma of ripe red fruits. The restaurant adds herbs and liquorice, calling it fresh and floral with a silky palate. Serving temperature between 15 and 17C.
