About the Wine

 

Tempranillo is Spain’s candidate for greatness.  It is deep in color with low acidity.  And, as roughly half of Mendoza's population is of Spanish descent, over the years a number of Tempranillo vines have been planted in the region.  This bottling, from an heirloom quality parral style vineyard in Altamira, is packed with lush cherry and raspberry fruit. A long growing season, very cold nights and low yields help create a wine that is extremely concentrated.  Rich and full, with no bitter after taste.  While grown and made in Argentina, this Tempranillo bottling does Spain proud.

Tasting Notes

 

Ruby red color. Fresh aromatics of dried cherry and strawberry, with a medium bodied palate reminiscent of raspberries, more cherries, and spicy herbs. Finishes soft, with a touch of vanilla.  This is a great every day wine.
