Aroma: blackcurrant, dark cherry liqueur, roasted coffee, floral

Palate: dense black fruit, graphite, dark chocolate, fine-grained tannins

The prestige single-parcel cuvee from Briego, with concentrated black fruit, dark chocolate and graphite from old vines on chalky limestone, aged 20 months in new French oak.

What it pairs with

  • Venison loin with black truffle
    The wine's graphite and roasted notes echo the earthy truffle and game.
  • Grilled Iberico pork chop
    Dense tannins meet the fat and smokiness of premium pork.
  • Dark chocolate dessert
    Mirroring tones of dark chocolate in both wine and dessert.

History

Infidel is Briego's flagship, selected from the oldest and best-positioned parcel on the Roa de Duero chalky plateau. The name echoes the estate's sense of individuality within the appellation.
