This full, silky red marries the noble and native Spanish red grape varietal Tempranillo with internationally recognized, yet relative newcomer to Spain, Cabernet Sauvignon. Cabernet Sauvignon {55%} This grape gives The Spanish Quarter its backbone and vibrant fruit aromas. Introduced to Spain in the 1970s and superbly adapted to Spanish soil, this varietal was planted on our land in the 1980s and has become one of our specialties. Tempranillo {45%} This grape contributes an elegant depth and color, along with aromas of black fruit, strawberries, licorice, and spice. From temprano, meaning “early,” because it ripens sooner than other varietals, this is Spain´s most renowned native grape and has been grown on our estate for three decades. The resulting wine is a deep purple-red color with a nose of dark cherry and blackberry, and with hints of exotic spice and chocolate. The full and silky palate reveals layers of juicy ripe berry fruit, dark chocolate, and a touch of sweet oak on the finish. food pairings Pairs well with soft cheeses, bbq beef, lamb or chicken, and tomato-based pasta sauces.
