Terra Mädi Tempranillo 750ML

Terra Mädi Tempranillo - A Mexican Expression of a Classic Grape From the heart of central Mexico, at Freixenet Mexico's Finca Sala Vivé in Querétaro, comes Terra Mädi Tempranillo. Following the "Beloved Earth" philosophy – a fusion of European winemaking and Mexican terroir – this RED WINE showcases the vibrant character of the Tempranillo grape, thoughtfully crafted to express its unique regional identity.   Tasting Notes: This Tempranillo displays a bright garnet red color with alluring ruby hues, hinting at its youthful vibrancy and good density. The nose offers a captivating fruity and floral aromatic intensity. Delight in the evocative aromas of ripe red fruits and juicy plums, layered with intriguing notes of tobacco and delicate red flowers, particularly cherries. A subtle influence from its oak aging emerges as hints of warm vanilla and sweet coconut. On the palate, this is an elegant wine with a lively acidity, a hallmark of the region's terroir. The tannins are velvety and smooth, providing a pleasant texture that lingers into a satisfying aftertaste.   Pairings: Terra Mädi Tempranillo is a versatile food companion. Enjoy it with soft cheeses to highlight its fruit-forward character, pair it with smoky BBQ ribs for a delightful contrast, or savor it alongside comforting pasta dishes with rich red sauce. Serve slightly chilled between 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit to best appreciate its aromatic complexity and balanced structure.  Vinification & Aging Highlights: The Tempranillo grapes are carefully manually selected and destemmed. A cold maceration at 6°C for four days gently extracts color and aromas before a controlled fermentation at 25°C with regular pumping over for ten days. The wine then undergoes a thoughtful aging process, spending 2 months in a combination of American and French oak barrels followed by 8 months of bottle aging, allowing the flavors to integrate and the tannins to soften.
