About the Wine

Tentenublo Red
Tentenublo Wines, Rioja, Red Wine

A fresh and modern approach to a classic. In this wine we find what clearly defines Tentenublo wines, always in search for new frontiers, while being guided by tradition. The wine is fresh and has a nice grip, fresh strawberries with ripe cherries constantly linger. The wine has a nice spice from the well managed oak always surrounding it, giving it a delicious additional layer.

The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards (620 meters), thriving on shallow, rocky soils. The spectrum of vine ages, from 10 to 80 years, contributes to the concentration and complexity of the wine.

The grapes for this wine are hand harvested, and fermented in open top oak barrels, and then trespassed to a variety of oak barriques and foudre of different capacities, where it makes malolactic fermentation and ages for about 8 months.

The resulting wine is very elegant, fruit driven but always maintaining its silky elegance. A wine to be had with friends, with long conversations and will always benefit by food. Think of winter food, meat stews, meatballs or a well-made juicy burger. The wine is very much ready to drink now but can easily age for the next 5 years, making it a great value for a very solid Rioja!
