What to Expect

Most famous as the predominant grape in the blended wines of Rioja, Tempranillo has emerged as a potential star in regions as disparate as Australia and California. Tempranillo generally produces medium-bodied wines with juicy acidity and bright raspberry fruit enlivened by notes of dusty earth, dry herbs and leather. Tempranillo is often blended with Grenache, Graciano, and Mazuelo (aka Carignan) in the production of red wine from the Rioja region of Spain.

Winemakers Notes

Ein Bündel unterschiedlicher Aromen strömt als Duftkonzentrat aus dem Glas: zuerst klassisch-herbe Ausbaunoten, die uns an Rauch und Tabak erinnern, dann reife Fruchtaromen (Zwetschgen, schwarze Kirschen), begleitet von einer Spur streng-grünlicher Noten. Das Markenzeichen dieses strukturierten Weines: Kraft, Gehalt und Dichte in Reinkultur. Unendlich erscheint das grandiose Finale, das von Feinheit und Vielschichtigkeit bei gleichzeitiger Tiefe geprägt ist. Ein seltenes Erlebnis!

Rating: 16/20 - As reviewed by Jancis Robinson Tempranillo. Very full and alcoholic, this lacks a little bit of freshness. Very chewy and slightly awkward. Tannins and acidity intrude.
