The Character

Overall Full-bodied, barrel notes are apparent but well-balanced.

Aromas Blueberry, blackberry, spice box, toasted oak, espresso, vanilla

Mouthfeel Big and bold but with excellent structure and acidity

Tasting Notes Always the most robust wine of the Solar Fortun line up, this vintage of O positivo has a touch of the barnyard note on the nose typically found in wines of Chateauneuf du Pape and some Bordeaux which in this case mingles well with the flirty and full-bodied overtones of cassis, blackberry, and blueberry. Slightly above these notes is a layer of spice that give one the overall impression of a wine with fantastic dimension that will last for a decade or more.

Selling Point An excellent example of muscularity and finesse

Pairings Meat dishes, especially grilled red meats, stews and pastas with red sauce.

Sustainability 2022 - Vegan, Green Practicing, Sustainable In Practice, Minimal Intervention / Augmentation

The Story

O Positivo is the premium red blend from the Solar Fortún estate and it's name refers to the fact that all of the family members have a blood type of O + and also the blood sweat and tears that went into making this project a reality. With perhaps the most, "conventional" profile of any of their wines, this was one of the first red wines from Mexico to make it on the prestigious list of the French Laundry.
