Country: Spain Region: Cariñena Varietal: Tempranillo Vintage: 2020 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Ignacio Marin Description:  Blessed with an abundance of sunshine that is tempered by the strong Cierzo wind that flows through the Ebro Valley, cooling the vines and the people alike, the Ignacio Marin family have deep roots in the Cariñena region. With a winemaking heritage stretching back centuries that is matched by a generation long devotion to Garnacha they take the abiding view, cherishing the old vines they tend, eschewing the modern day pressures to grub them up. Upon that long held belief and resolute defiance their reputation has been built. They strive to create wines of incredible value and varietal character true to their quiet corner of Spain. Viticulture The region itself is blessed with an abundance of sunshine hours, whilst the strong Cierzo wind, which blows down through the Ebro Valley moderates temperatures, giving the grapes thicker skins and characteristic concentration of aromas and flavours. The vineyards are around 25 years old and are situated in the regions predominantly stony, limestone soils. Tasting Note :  This Tempranillo is a vibrant cherry red colour. This 100% Tempranillo (the rioja grape ) is harmonious and well structured on both the nose and palate. A delicious wine, with softening tannins and an abundance of rich  ripe bramble fruits,  a hint of  vanilla, with a fruity finish and good length.  Excellent value
