Description

Arzuaga’s flagship red is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon in the Ribero del Duero region, north of Madrid. A wine with a great value to savour and enjoy with food and friends!

TASTING NOTE: A deep purple colour. On the nose: Concentrated ripe red and black fruits as well as notes of balsamic and roasted spices. On the plate: It’s full-bodied with more flavours of ripe red and black fruits, firm tannin, spice and a hint of toasty oak character too from 16 months of ageing in French and American oak barrels, with a long, lingering finish.14.5% alcohol by volume.

FOOD PAIRING, STORING AND SERVICE: Enjoy this wine with roasted red meat or game with a flavourful sauce, or some soft cheeses. Drink now or till 2025 we’d recommend decanting this an hour or so before you plan to enjoy it, to allow for the aromas to open and the tannins to soften.

ABOUT: Florentino Arzuaga bought the La Planta estate in 1990 and Bodegas Arzuaga has now become a leader in wine tourism in the area. It was highlighted by the New York Times as one of 52 destinations around the world to visit in 2018 and is well worth a stop if ever in the area to join one of the tastings and explore the estate, which also has a five-star hotel.
