SPANISH TEMPRANILLO/CABERNET SAUVIGNON
April Release
Spain’s La Mancha is Europe’s largest denominated wine region. Named from the Moorish word ‘Manxa’, which means ‘parched earth’, the dry growing conditions ensure healthy vines and low yields, producing intensely flavored, extremely ripe grapes. Thick skinned and blue black, Tempranillo is high in color and extract and low in acidity. The foundation of the great reds of Rioja, it produces dark lush wines with black cherry, raspberry, and currant aromas, with complementing notes of plum and tobacco. Cabernet Sauvignon adds blackcurrant and blackberry notes along with firm structure. This wine matches well with roast turkey, game birds, stews and aged cheese. It can be consumed under six months of age, but the black cherry/blackcurrant and plum notes take at least six months to show, and will be best after one to two years. Sweetness Code: 0.
