Radio Boca Tempranillo 2017 (Spain)

Description

Clear medium intense red color. Clean medium intense aromas reminiscent of red cherries, strawberries and mature plums with hints of sweet spice such as cinnamon and vanilla. On the palate it is medium dry, medium bodied with a pleasant balance between acidity and soft tannins.

The grapes were handpicked at optimum stage of ripeness during the month of September. The wine was vinified with a cold maceration at 5ºC during 48 hours. Temperature controlled fermentation at 24-28ºC in stailess steel tanks. Maceration time 12 days. A percentage of the wine was aged in French oak barrels before blending back into the final blend. Though this use of oak is very discrete as Radio Boca winemakers allow for the Tempranillo to speak for its self!
