Spec sheet
The wine
Xabre is a wine that's different from the vast majority of wines you will have tried. Aromatic, fresh and floral; surprising, interesting and delicious. Moreover, produced with great artistry and with attention to every detail: the wine, the bottle and the label. An original creation, executed very tastefully, with just over 3,000 bottles made. Pure craftsmanship.
Xabre is very pleasant, both on the nose and palate, appearing a lovely colour with medium-high density, most elegant. Harmony is its great merit: ripe, expressive and juicy fruit, and an array of aromas and flavours which have remarkable complexity and originality. Although it's made predominantly from Mencía grapes (90%), you'll find it a different type of Mencía.
It's an evocative wine regarding sense of smell. It starts off by exhibiting a very seductive vegetal freshness (the capsule's green colour is not accidental), with deeper woodland aromas (fir and cypress trees) or lighter notes of recently-cut grass, and continues with a Christmas nuance due to its spiciness, sweetish, with floral notes too and medicinal hints. There aren't any rough edges, it's all nicely balanced.
On the palate it's delicate, medium-bodied, with a juicy texture and lovely sweetness, leaving a glycerin sensation on the tongue, with those same vegetal hints and notes of well-refined oak in the aftertaste, and they carry on persisting. Original and very satisfying, with a moderate alcohol content as well. All in all, a real pleasure to drink!

Customer reviews
Another great Ribera Sacra Mencia
I ordered this alongside my standby Guimaro, to see if it was worth the premium, and I'm happy to say it delivered. Superb balance and poise, lots of ripe red fruit but held together with some oak and vibrant acidity.
A wine to cherish
Club Vinissimus can throw up some great surprises. I rate Xabre as one of the best. Its unique blend of grapes gives us a fine wine of great quality which is an excellent match with red meat or roast fowl.
Buen vino
Denominación de origen no muy conocida,pero que con este primer vino que hemos probado, vamos a seguir catando algún vino más, pues si todos están de buenos como este vino tan intenso,fino y fácil de beber, merece la pena
Lieblingswein
Im Glas dunkelrot, mit rubinroten Reflexen. In der Nase direkt nach dem eingießen präsente Honignote, die mit etwas Luft aber verschwindet. Später eher verschlossen, hintergründige Note von Holz und reifen dunklen Früchten. Im Mund dicht, extraktreich und rund. Leicht bittere Note (Zartbitterschokolade) im Abgang, ansonsten schön rund und lang anhaltend. Wird mit der Zeit immer besser
Una maravilla de vino.
Lo dicho, una maravilla de vino. La primera vez que cato un tinto de esta zona y he quedado prendado, por su sabor, mineralidad, sutileza. Se acaba de convertir en otro fijo más, ya lo he vuelto a comprar, totalmente recomendable.
