Not Bodegas Olivares.

Next clue: This winery has recently revamped their label. Maybe that's one of the reasons they've added the quote to the cork.

Cheers,
Sue

I think I've stumped everybody. Makes it harder when you can't simply Google the answer.

The quote is on a white synthetic cork that is the closure of Carchelo Monastrell Syrah Cabernet 2007 from Jumilla. It's a deep, rich coloured wine, a black red colour and opaque to the eye. The aromas are reminiscent of plum with hints of chocolate and spicy vanillin oak then it is quite earthy and savoury to the taste with some herbal nuances behind the blueberry fruit. There's some tannin grip to balance the juicy fruit with liquorice and spice and a touch of mocha filing out the finish. A smart wine for the price and with the new and attractive bottle presentation it is extremely appealing.

Bodegas Carchelo can be found at www.carchelo.com

Thanks to everyone who participate and persevered.

Cheers,
Sue

In NZ it is $15.99 - so pretty smart buying.
WIne searcher's limited non pro version results lists US prices between $10.20 and $14.99 on single bottles.
