Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.

The wine region of Castille

Cradle of great Castilian reds, high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) along the Duero. Tempranillo king (aka Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino): powerful, concentrated, structured reds with notes of black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins from altitude and cool nights. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (floral, mineral Mencía). Lively, herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda.

The word of the wine: Astringency

Chemical stimulation that tightens the mucous membranes of the mouth and causes a sensation of harshness, which is characteristic of the presence of tannins. With time, the tannins lose their harshness and become softer.
