WINE DESCRIPTION
Fuentespina Reserva is a premium red wine produced by Bodegas Fuentespina in the Ribera del Duero appellation of Spain. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which results in a longer growing season and more concentrated flavors in the grapes. The wine is made from a blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, which are carefully selected and hand-harvested. The winemaking process involves aging the wine for 14 months in oak barrels, followed by additional aging in the bottle. The resulting wine is full-bodied and complex, with notes of dark fruit, vanilla, and spice. Fuentespina Reserva is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts who appreciate the rich and elegant style of Ribera del Duero wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Fuentespina Reserva is a powerful and robust red wine.On the nose, you will find enticing aromas of ripe red fruit and cedar. The palate is full bodied, with structured tannins and a warm, spicy finish. The flavors of dark cherry, spice, and cedar linger on the palate. An excellent expression of Tempranillo from the Ribera del Duero, this wine is best enjoyed with grilled meats and hard cheeses. Enjoy now or cellar for up to 10 years.
