Caliza is the Spanish word for limestone, and represents the pure limestone subsoil found beneath the mineral rich topsoil at the D.O. Dominio de Valdepusa Estate. It is a blend of Syrah (65%) and Petit Verdot (35%) that has been created to deliver an enticingly fruity and approachable wine while also displaying the full body and personality unique to our terroir. This wine was part of Wine Spectators Top 100 wines of 2010. Estate bottled. TASTING NOTES Presenting a deep purple colour with glistening cherry hues. It has alluringly fruity and powerful aromas reminiscent of lush raspberries and ripe, black cherries, delicately balanced by a subtle minerality and notes of cinnamon. In the palate it is a beautifully full-bodied and fresh wine that reveals a silky structure leading to a textured and long lasting finish. RECOMMENDATIONS Ideal with most Mediterranean dishes, especially with pasta, risottos, cheese. It is also an excellent accompaniment to poultry and game birds. Serve at a temperature of 15-17ºC. Drink between now and 2015. www.pagosdefamilia.es
