Winemaking Notes:
Careful blending is at the core of this wine, but we harvest each
component separately, starting with Tempranillo. We then vinify
and mature every variety separately, using only aged French oak
barrels to ensure harmony of tannin structure without too much
oak presence. Our aim seeks to blend the perfume and spice of
Tempranillo, the savoury zest with high acidity of Sangiovese, and
the gentle power of Shiraz.
Tasting Note:
Medium-bodied, yet with considerable depth in this vintage.
Perfumed on the nose and rewarding on the palate. This year
the Tempranillo produced delicious Morello cherry fruit. The
Sangiovese produced a wine of intense perfume with notable
tannins, but Tempranillo is to the fore. A Mediterranean style
wine with the three varieties working in harmony together.
Food Pairing:
Great drinking all year round, especially with a platter of
Spanish or Italian cured meats, good green olives, Manchego
cheese and crusty bread.
Serving Temperature: 18-20 degrees.
