Allegranza La Mancha Tempranillo-Shiraz 2018 (Spain)

Description

• Lightly oaked
• Medium - full bodied
• Exoctics spices
• Soft tannins

Clear deep ruby red colour with purple highlights. Clean medium intense aromas reminiscent of black cherries, mature strawberries with notes of exotic spices and eucalyptus. On the palate it is medium dry, medium-full bodied, soft tannins and a long finish. An elegant and sophisticated collection with a feminine appeal. A vibrant reinterpretation of two Spanish classical grape varieties.

Made from a Tempranillo - Shiraz blend, the grapes for this wine were grown on 30+ yr old vines in the La Mancha region of Spain. The region experiences extreme continental weather with long hot Summers.

The grapes were hand-harvested in September. With maceration at 5ºC over 48hrs, and then fermented at 24-26ºC over 12-15 days. The wine was then partially aged in 100% French oak.
