Rioja Tinto Tempranillo Wine Selection

Description

Tempranillo is a thick-skinned, deeply-coloured grape variety that gives juicy strawberry, spice and leather notes to the great red wines of Rioja and Ribera del Douro. It’s also a key grape for making Port. The grape makes wines that can age very well, developing leathery, oaky (vanilla, spice) aromas and flavours with a few years in-bottle.nContents of Case:n2 x Bodegas Muerza- A light and fruity red wine from the Rioja region of Spain, with strawberry and raspberry notes.
