WINE DESCRIPTION

Opolo Tempranillo is harvested, then the fruit is cold soaked for a short period days to gently extract of color and flavor. It is then fermented for about a week. The wine is matured in a small proportion of new American oak barrels for around nine months before being blended and returned to barrel for a further period of ageing prior to release.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Opolo Tempranillo exhibits a deep ruby color, with aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherry and plum, along with hints of spice and oak.On the palate, this wine offers a well-balanced combination of fruitiness and earthiness, with flavors of dark berries, tobacco, and vanilla. The alcohol is well-integrated and the chalky tannins help frame the rich dark fruit on the persistent finish.

ORIGINS

Winery: Opolo

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
