Description
Color: Cherry red in colour, star bright and with medium intensity.
Aroma: On the nose, the first aromas to appear are those of the barrel ageing; the most evident being vanilla, smoky notes, caramel and roast coffee beans. On gently swirling the glass, these combine with aromas of black fruits. The blend of grapes give it a complex structure and aromatic intensity.
Palate: Powerful, deep and balanced on the palate, with velvety tannins. A sensation of sweetness, certainly due to the high alcohol level. Great length, and a fine fruity finish.

This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
