Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain

Winemaker Notes

Vibrant red leading slightly towards amber. Light fresh texture with notes of vanilla, red cherry and dried berry aromas. Rich, plush, very dry, smooth and developed yet still fresh, with firm tannins, good balance and great length.

James Suckling – 95 Points

A traditional beauty that effuses iron, warm earth and savory tobacco leaves, together with plums, spices and orange zest. This is juicy and still tight, with firm but savory tannins. Medium-weight and quite zesty in texture, as is the case with the other López de Heredia reds tasted this session. Drink now or hold.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with pork tenderloin, veal Porterhouse, roast chicken, prime rib roast, pork chops, veal cutlets.
