MESTA ORGANIC TEMPRANILLO 2023

Some wines become firm Vino Fino favourites – this is one of them. From organically farmed, estate owned vineyards in Uclés, Castille, Spain, this is a vibrant and juicy, red wine with herbal, rosemary and liquorice notes with supple tannins. Youthful and un-oaked, it is showing great purity and fruit expression. This Tempranillo will take you straight to the Spanish countryside, complete with views of vineyards, olive groves and ruined castles and of course, like many Spanish wines, it offers incredible value.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"The Mesta was a powerful association of shepherds in Medieval Castile, controlling the routes for herding sheep across the country. Our vineyards are nestled deep in the heart of Castile and are still passed over by flocks on their annual migration – a symbol of our commitment to organic and sustainable viticulture.

This is a vibrant and juicy, unoaked red wine, showing great purity of aromas with notes of black berries, rosemary and a touch of liquorice. Very versatile, medium-bodied wine, excellent with tapas, grilled meat, sausages and pasta."

5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, May 2023 (2021 Vintage)
"Sweetly ripe and inviting, the wine shows dark plum, mulberry, thyme and toasted nut aromas with a hint of spicy overtone. It's equally attractive in the mouth delivering excellent fruit weight and persistency. Plump and flavoursome with a lingering velvety finish. At its best: now to 2028."
