Conde de los Andes Description
The grapes for Conde de los Andes Tempranillo come from a number of small plots near the Rioja Alta villages of Ollauri and Haro, where the vines are over 40 years old and grown in clay-limestone soil. The wine undergoes 21 days of fermentation in stainless steel vats, and then matures in French oak barrels for 14 months, with an additional 12 months’ bottle-aging before release.
This is a fresh, fruity and suggestively complex version of a wine produced from old Tempranillo vines, selected in small plots. The nose is fresh and rich, akin to red fruits, raisins and Mediterranean herbs, and a palate with underlying acidity, enough to enhance the vibrant and lively fruit aromas. It is well-structured and wonderfully fresh, with a finish that is long and pleasing.
Serving Hints: Excellent paired with spicy dishes, like Cajun style or Jambalaya. Also delicious with burgers, chicken or other meat dishes.
