Product Highlights
James Suckling-Castilla- La Mancha,Spain- "More restrained than some of the other bottlings of this producer, but also riper, this delivers undergrowth, blackberries, vanilla and black pepper. Full-bodied and very spicy indeed, the tannins are robust but well integrated, and the finish is quite long."

Product Details
OVERVIEW
Geography
The wine regions of Northwest Spain include the lush corner of Galicia, known as “Green Spain.” Galicia is bordered to the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean, which keeps the region cool and damp. Galicia is best known for the Rías Baixas DO, where the native white grape, Albariño, produces delicious and refreshing wines with floral aromas and mineral flavors.
Varietal / Type
Tempranillo is the great red grape of Spain, producing a variety of wine styles in regions around the country. Tempranillo wine typically features medium acidity, medium tannins and dark red color. Young, unoaked versions will be pleasantly fruity, with flavors of red fruits and jam. More complex versions, aged in oak – often American oak – will have vanilla, toast and meaty notes.
