Tempranillo
Tasting Notes
This Tempranillo is a bright cherry red color, with a nose of intense red fruit aromas, combined with subtle scents from oak ageing — vanilla, coconut, balsamic notes, and licorice. The palate is fresh, full, and very savory, with a vibrant structure. It has a pleasant and quite a long finish.
Vineyards
The grapes for this wine come from Bodegas Muriel Estate Vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, with the vines averaging around twenty years of age and grown on a combination of Clay-Ferrous and Clay-Limestone soil. The climate is Continental Mediterranean, with a strong Atlantic influence.
Winemaking
After destemming, the grapes are pressed and the juice is transferred into stainless steel vats. Fermentation was conducted over fourteen days, with daily pump-over. The wine then went into three-year-old American oak barrels for six months of aging.
