El Gringo VDT Castilla Dark Red Tempranillo 2020 (Spain)

Description

• French oak
• Black cherries
• Roasted coffee
• Full bodied

Clear deep ruby-purple colour. Clean and distinguished aromas of black cherries, strawberries, roasted coffee beans and chocolate. On the palate berry flavours with juiciness getting smoothed out with light vanilla and delicate milk chocolate and roasted Java bean. On the palate the wine is luscious, full-bodied with firm and velvety tannins and a long finish.

100% Tempranillo harvested in the second half of September. The grapes were cold macerated at 5°C for 48 hours before undergoing fermentation for 12-18 days. Wine was aged for 4 months in 1-2 year old French oak.
