- F. Duron - 01-09-2006 We are trying to find out something about, and the value of the above wine of Spain. ALMANAS Denominacion de Origen (750 ml bottle). - TheEngineer - 01-10-2006 The producer is Bodegas Tintoralba and I just picked up the 2002 for around $9USD. From Robert Parket A terrific bargain, this 2002, made from destemmed 100% Grenache (60-70 year old vines), was completely tank-fermented and aged. A Spanish fruit bomb, it reveals a dense purple color as well as loads of sweet kirsch liqueur, black currant, and berry fruit, medium body, terrific purity, and a Zinfandel-like spiciness.(RP) [This message has been edited by TheEngII (edited 01-09-2006).] - F. Duron - 01-10-2006 Thanks Engineer II, that sounds exactly like what my wife and I had! Excellent review! - w8ing4spain - 01-27-2006 Higueruela 2004 90 points Wine advocate in the June number 2005. 100% garnacha tintorera, a local grape grown at 1000 meters height in the area of Almansa, or more specific, the little village of Higueruela.
