Mas Oliveras Tempranillo - Bodegas Ramón Roqueta 1898The elegant Tempranillo of Mas Oliveras flows into the glass with bright ruby red. The first nose of Tempranillo reveals notes of blackberries, mulberries and plums. The fruity hints of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel aging such as even more fruity-balsamic nuances. The Tempranillo of Mas Oliveras is ideal for all wine lovers who like as little residual sugar in the wine as possible. At the same time, however, it never appears sparse or brittle, but round and smooth. Balanced and complex, this velvety and dense red wine presents itself on the palate. Due to the moderate fruit acidity, the Tempranillo flatters the palate with a soft feeling, without lacking freshness. In the finish, this red wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia finally thrills with considerable length. There are again hints of mulberry and black cherry. Vinification of the Mas Oliveras Tempranillo The basis for the balanced Tempranillo from Catalonia are grapes from the Tempranillo grape variety. The grapes for this red wine from Spain, when perfectly ripe, are harvested exclusively by hand. After the hand harvest, the grapes are quickly transferred to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully ground. Fermentation follows in small wood at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by a maturation of 3 months in oak barrels. Food recommendation for the Mas Oliveras Tempranillo Drink this red wine from Spain best tempered at 15 - 18°C as a companion to chickpea curry, spinach gratin with almonds or cod with cucumber-mustard vegetables.
