Gran Arzuaga

2002 Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo

Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro Gran Arzuaga from the esteemed Ribera del Duero region is a splendid example of Tempranillo that captivates the senses. This red wine exhibits a full-bodied character with a vibrant acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing layers of dark fruits such as blackcurrant and plum, complemented by subtle hints of spice and vanilla from careful oak aging. The tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that enhances the wine's depth and longevity. As a dry wine, it showcases a harmonious balance that makes it an exceptional choice for pairing with rich dishes or enjoying on its own, evoking the warmth and complexity of its Spanish terroir. This vintage from 2002 demonstrates the potential for aging, promising a delightful experience for those fortunate enough to uncork a bottle.
