Telmo Rodriguez YJAR 2018

Telmo Rodriguez YJAR is crafted from a selection of high-altitude vineyards in Rioja Alavesa, Spain, where the cooler climate and limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine's structure and elegance. The wine is composed primarily of Tempranillo, with small amounts of Graciano and Garnacha, harvested by hand. Fermentation occurs in open-top wooden vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle spice and enhances the wine's complexity. This wine is designed to showcase a balance of ripe fruit character, vibrant acidity, and a refined tannic structure, suitable for both immediate enjoyment and extended cellaring.
