Bodegas Mas Que Vinos - "Los Conejos Malditos" Espana Rosado (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla) 2022 750ml (12% ABV)

$16.00

named "conejos malditos" for the local rabbit population, which is quite destructive when it comes to grape vines / vineyards - hence the adorable label! what a bargain too.

Más Que Vinos was founded in La Rioja in 1998 when three friends - Margarita Madrigal, Alexandra Schmedes and Gonzalo Rodriguez met. Three winemakers, each one with extense winemaking experience. Seeing the great potential of the vineyards in Gonzalo’s hometown of Dosbarrios (outside Toledo), they launched their personal winery project rescuing old plots of indigenous grape varieties and moving to all organic viticulture. They renovated the old family winery (from 1851) and in 2007 constructed a new modern winery in nearby Cabañas de Yepes.
