WINE DESCRIPTION
Tarón Cepas Centenarias is a premium wine produced by Bodegas Tarón, a renowned winery located in the Rioja Alta appellation of Spain. The grapes used to make this wine come from old vines that are over 100 years old, which gives the wine a unique character and depth of flavor. The vineyards are situated at high altitudes, which allows for slow ripening and optimal grape development. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including aging in French oak barrels for 18 months, which adds complexity and richness to the wine. The resulting wine is a full-bodied and elegant red with intense aromas of dark fruit, spices, and vanilla, and a long, smooth finish.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied red wine from Spain's Ribera del Duero region is a marvel of complexity and balance.On the nose, aromas of dark cherry, tobacco, and cedar mingle with hints of smoke and leather. On the palate, sweet cherry and ripe plum flavors are complemented by subtle tannic structure, with a finish that lingers with notes of blackberry and spice. Enjoy Tarón Cepas Centenarias with grilled red meats, earthy mushroom dishes, or aged cheese.
