El Bicho Raro, which translates to 'the oddball' in English, is a unique red wine hailing from the Yecla region in Spain. While Barahonda typically focuses on wines made from the Monastrell grape variety, the Bicho Raro stands out as it includes Tintorera (70%), Syrah (20%), and a smaller portion of Monastrell (10%). Who doesn't appreciate a touch of the unusual?

 

WINE MAKING

El Bicho Raro undergoes fermentation and maceration in stainless steel vats for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 20/25 ºC. Following this process, the wine is aged in American and French oak barrels for a minimum of 12 months.

 

For optimal storage, maintain a temperature range of 14/16° C and store the wine horizontally. It is recommended to enjoy within 7/8 years.

 

TASTING NOTES

  • Palate: This wine presents a juicy and intense mouthfeel, with subtle hints of ageing and spices layered over a backdrop of red fruit. It is robust yet approachable, full-bodied, harmonious, complex, and truly distinctive.
  • Pairing: Pair this wine with mature cheeses, spicy and rich dishes like cured meats, sausages, ham, tripe, and other offal. It also complements chocolates and cocoa or coffee-based desserts perfectly.
  • Serving Temperature: Serve at a temperature between 15°/17° C.

 

This wine is suitable for vegetarians and vegans to enjoy.
