Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
An appealing medium ruby, powerful aromas of red pepper and seasoned wood lead into a full-bodied wine resplendent with flavors of dark chocolate-covered cherry and medium roast coffee.
Winemaker Notes
Produced entirely from the head-trained vines surrounding our award-winning Inn at Europa Village, we are excited to share our very first-ever single vineyard Estate Reserve Tempranillo with you. For many years these Tempranillo vines, planted on steep slopes and tended in the classic Rioja method, have produced fabulous grapes. They are normally blended with other vineyards, but for this special release we felt we had to keep them separate to let them tell the story of what we consider to be one of our very best Estate sites. And what a story they tell!
Food Pairing Notes
As with the great Tempranillos of Rioja, a great candidate for a decade or more in the cellar, or to be enjoyed now with roasted duck with red wine marinated apples.
