Olivedale Respect for Nature Tempranillo 2020

This is a harmonizing wine with a superior structure. Lovely soft spice with hints of scorched marshmallow and soft vanilla.

Fresh mountain water on virgin soil and unspoiled and healthy microbes, makes the perfect medium for this red grape. Tempranillo found its home at Olivedale, with its very unique Mediterranean summer days and cooler nights. Constantly 50% lower temperatures during the night as during the day.

Picked in 10kg lug boxes at the end of February, the grapes were hand-sorted and destemmed but not crushed. Whole berry natural fermentation with extended skin contact. Through malolactic fermentation, pressed and racked into 300lt French oak barrels for 18 months.

This wine will complement rich red meat dishes.
