Discover delicious complexity with layers of flavors in 2019 Flor de Sara Vendimia Seleccionada Tempranillo Rioja D.O.Ca. This fruity, Tempranillo-dominant blend hails from Rioja, a region that’s famous for producing the red varietal. On the nose, enticing notes of cherry, cranberry, and baking spices make a statement. On the palate, tart cherry is complemented by hints of coconut, dill, and tea leaf. This is a juicy wine with fresh acidity and a nice, easygoing finish. Made from 90% Tempranillo with a touch (10%) of Mazuelo, also known as Carignan, this red blend represents an excellent year for high-quality grapes. Simple but thoughtful winemaking techniques were used, with grapes gently pressed to preserve their freshness and aged in American oak barrels for six months. Tempranillo is the star grape of the beautiful Rioja region in Northern Spain. Rioja experiences a combination of cooler Atlantic influences and warmer Mediterranean influences, resulting in complex and exciting wines. This Tempranillo-Mazuelo blend was crafted in the classic style of “tapas wines” you’d find in the villages of Rioja. It is versatile enough to sit at the family dinner table yet be elegant enough to be served at intimate dinner parties. 2019 Flor de Sara Vendimia Seleccionada Tempranillo Rioja D.O.Ca. pairs well with casual meals, like fried or roast chicken, meatloaf, pork chops, pizza, and burgers.
