Merinas Tempranillo

Learn More About This Wine

Merinas are the noblest breed of sheep, famous for their quality of wool. The vineyards are nestled deep in the heart of Castile and are still passed over by flocks of their annual migration – a symbol of the commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture. Through organic viticulture and respectful winemaking, they produce wines of great purity, reflecting the unique personality of the land and grape varieties. 

Produced from their own, organically farmed vineyards in Uclés (Castile, Spain), managed as an integrated ecosystem and studded with centenary oak trees. The region’s continental climate with sunny days and cool nights allows it to achieve intense fruit and excellent varietal definition, while retaining remarkable freshness. 

Grapes were picked early morning and quickly transferred to the winery for destemming, light crushing, and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Maceration lasts for 8-10 days to achieve a perfectly balanced style without excessive extraction. No oak is used to achieve a pure expression of high-altitude Tempranillo. 

A vibrant and juicy, unoaked red wine, showing great purity and typicity of high-altitude Tempranillo, with expressive and well-defined aromas of red berries, rosemary and a touch of liquorice. Bright ruby red colour. Fresh and with an excellent length on the palate, with round texture and a satisfyingly dry finish. A very versatile, medium-bodied food wine, excellent with tapas, grilled meat, spicy chorizo and pasta.
