Sexto


Sexto is a wine from Terra Alta, in Tarragona (North East from Spain and South from Barcelona). Why I purchased this wine was mainly because it's label design: with a strong red and yellow, is clearly identify with a Spanish or Catalan wine. It has also a paint of the number 6 (sexto means the sixth), which reminds of Miro paintings. It has nice flavours of blackberrie and other berries with touches of vanilla, delicious!! I think it would be a good wine for some Manchego cheese and others such as Tetilla, as well as fish and meat (however, not a strong dish of meat such as red meat).

Cheers

wine and design

This is a blog made for tasting wine and design. Any comments about Spanish and Californian wines are very welcome. Of course, design plays a relevant role when wineries try to sell their products. We will look to web sites, labels and other kind of design related to wine.
Taste, taste, taste wine and design!!

Cheers
