Gregorio Martinez Finca Tempranillo

This sustainably farmed and natural Rioja is unlike any you’ve tried before, made using a patented process designed to minimize sulphite use and preserve the natural flora. The patented method by the bodega’s oenologist which consists of extracting and re-circulating the carbonic gases naturally produced during fermentation into the bottom of the tank; this gently turns the wine over which helps to eliminate unwanted bacteria while preserving good bacteria, making the wine more aromatic and alive with extremely low sulphites.

Intense cherry red in colour with a purple rim. Aromas of red and dark fruits (cherry, plum, redcurrants) overlapped with subtle notes of blue flowers (lilac, violets) and balsamic hints. Surprisingly light body, silky smooth and fresh. Pairs with Tapas, Manchego or any cheese (cow, goat or sheep), Ibérico ham, Paté or any Spreads, Poultry, Pasta or Pizza, Legumes or Meat, typical Spanish dishes, all Mediterranean and Asian rice-based dishes spiced but not too hot.

This Finca Blanco wine is aged 12 months in American & French oak barrels and a further 6 months in bottle. Production of 15,000 bottles.
