Tempos Vega Sicilia Pintia 2018

Tempranillo from Toro, Spain

Winemaker Notes

Pintia lies on the banks of the Douro River, within the Toro D.O. region. The extremely cold winters and hot summers influence its complex soils, which are mainly known for their significant pebble content.

This means that finding the perfect harvest period is key to ensure the wine conserves both its fresh aromas and acidity.

Harvesting ran from 20 September to 7 October. A rainier vintage, which already looked very good during the grape skin tasting. Very fruity polymerised tannins; a vintage to undoubtedly enjoy during harvest. Our experience with the grape was reflected in the wine. A new production plant was used for the first time during fermentation, enabling even more precise work during extraction.

Pintia 2018 is probably the most vertical and fruitiest Pintia, but also has a lot of intrigue. A wine with a very silky texture that can be enjoyed now, but has an incredible finish.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with lamb, beef, braises and stews, and even chicken dishes.
