TEMPRANILLO

A fantastic red wine, bright and fruit forward! Great with red meat and on it's own. 

This wine has seen 6 months of french and american oak.

Appearance: Deeply brilliant red. Nose: Ripe berries, unidentified floral touch (violets?), brie, sandalwood, cinnamon. Palate: An initial touch of sweetness in the mouth, followed by balanced acidity with gentle tannins and an overall sense of elegance.

100 % Tempranillo grape from the vineyards of Laguardia.

This Rioja is traditionally hand harvested when the fruit is in a perfect state of maturity. Fermented in steel tanks it then spends 12 months aging in French oak barrels.

This is a full bodied, fantastic wine to pair with a steak, chorizo or a good old barbie!

The wine was noticed by, amongst others, Goodman Steakhouse (considered the best Steak in London) and proudly features on their wine list.

Tempranillo grapes selected from vineyards over 40 years old and with production not exceeding 3,500 kg per hectare planted. Having reached their optimum ripeness, they proceeded to the manual harvesting of the grapes in plastic boxes with 15 kg of grapes each box.

Temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel conical tanks of 17,000 kg capacity, enhancing quality and quantity withdrawals for 11 days. After the fermentation, pumpings were performed daily for 22 days with the skins. Malolactic fermentation done in stainless steel conical tanks. In January 2002 began the process of aging in French oak barrels from four different coopers.
