After a long and balanced growing season, the Tempranillo grapes are harvested at night. The Sierra Salinas winemaker does this to protect the grapes from oxidation and to prevent damage and bruising to the bunches. Upon arrival, the bunches are thoroughly inspected. Only the finest bunches are used in this Sierra Salinas red wine. The juice undergoes a direct and gentle pressing and ages for several months in the Sierra Salinas winery. Only after several months is it ready to drink, and that, we can tell you, is a real treat.
In short, this Sierra Salinas Tempranillo is a soft, ripe, and accessible red wine. The aroma offers a broad palette of red and black fruit with a light spiciness. The palate is soft and refined, with abundant notes of strawberry, raspberry, and ripe cherry. On the palate, nuances of plum and cassis round it all off. The finish is smooth and easy: a true crowd-pleaser.
