Telmo Rodriguez Corriente 2021
Telmo Rodriguez Corriente is a simple and approachable wine that represents a region, its culture and its wine. A good everyday wine.
Intense cherry red colour with a garnet rim. Gentle from front to back with generous cherry and raspberry red fruit aromas and a damp earth, mineral tilt. Juicy and mouthwatering with velvety tannins and a bright acidity. Think more terroir and less fruit, with a generous dose of gentle oak and vanilla.
A blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano. Estate and purchased grapes from vineyards in the village of Lanciego. The Lanciego district has a mix of flat shallow soils that are stony, calcareous and low in nutrients. Traditional suppliers grow their grapes on bush vines and manually harvest them in small boxes. The ferment is done with native yeasts, the ageing in French and American oak barrels and foudres of mixed ages.
