Telmo Rodriguez Dehesa Gago 2023 (Spain)

Description

Chocolate, Spice, Strawberry

"Ripe fruit but it remains fresh, with figs, red fruit compote and some dried brambly fruit and potpourri. Fine-grained on the palate, with a medium to full body, dusty tannins and a composed finish. Drink now" James Suckling, Jamessuckling.com

An exuberant and youthful red wine that captivates from the outset with its pronounced and pristine bouquet. Aromas unfurl, featuring cherries, blackberries, and a floral hint reminiscent of violets. On the palate, it is succulent and flavoursome, with a vivacity and tartness that render each sip delightfully enjoyable. The fruit is resplendent and spirited, presenting a seamless and forthright character that beckons one to indulge further.

Dehesa Gago is a red wine from D.O. Toro produced by Telmo Rodríguez, a winery that only uses local varieties from original areas, a philosophy that contrasts the boom of the introduction of foreign varieties in Spain.

This wine is a single variety Tinta de Toro (100%) grown on leased vines that are planted in a pot on sandy soil and gravel terraces. As for the production, there is a fermentation in local yeast in cement and stainless steel vats and then an aging in cement vats for 4 to 6 months. Dehesa Gago is a wine that stands out for its excellent price to quality ratio.
