The room is dimly lit, a haze of smoke curling through the air as the sultry beats of disco pulse in the background. I take a sip of the 2023 Natural Clarete, and it's like being transported to a time of unbridled passion and freedom. The 85% Monastrell dominates, its boldness tempered by the 15% ancestral varieties, creating a dance of flavours that's both wild and harmonious.
The wine's freshness and low alcohol content (11%) make it the perfect companion for a night of indulgence. Notes of pomegranate, mint, and orange peel tease my palate, each sip a reminder of the era's hedonistic pleasures. It's neither red nor rosé, but something tantalizingly in between—a reflection of blurred lines and endless possibilities.
Pair this wine with grilled prawns with garlic butter, margherita pizza, or just an impromptu night of revelry with nothing but good company and an open bottle.
