Mimetic
Wild Lost Landscapes
Mimetic is a term that shares a concept with “terroir” and is made in a little-known but super exciting area such as Calatayud, in Aragon.
A wine with a smell full of red and black fruits, jams, balsamic. pure concentrated fruit, but fresh and succulent. Aging for 6 months in concrete tanks with its lees, give it a very pleasant texture, of liquefied fruit, with a fruity tannin, ripe, that melts,juicy. It is an ideal wine to enjoy with or without food, and it blends in particularly well with the barbecue, of any type of meat, where it plays wonderfully with the notes smoked that this type of cooking provides. An area and a wine to discover.
