We have been making Tempranillo since 2009. One of our favorite sites is with no surprise Avant Vineyard. Orchard Mesa fruit that is focused on ripeness fits out style and have made for wonderful Tempranillo over the years. This Spanish varietal is often bolstered with expressions of newer oak, which gives a more lush flavor and mouthfeel in their youth. Our style differs, especially in this 2024 vintage, as we use older neutral oak barrels. This lets the wine showcase much most of ‘itself’ and can feel lean on the palate with vibrant fruit flavors.
This new Tempranillo is refreshing, focusing on bright and tart red fruit qualities. It is medium body, splashing with red plum and pomegranate flavors. Releasing this in August is a testament to its summery style, and easy drinkability – perfect to beat the heat! Enjoy with summer grilled gourd salads, or a classic burger in the park. Slight chill is recommended and will show the wine’s vibrancy as it compliments patio style foods during this heat wave.
Stop in a for a taste and enjoy with new Colorado grown Tempranillo!
Cheers!
