Vitola Reserva

2019 Rioja Tempranillo

Miguel Merino Vitola Reserva, a stunning red from the prestigious Rioja region, showcases the quintessential qualities of Tempranillo. This enchanting wine presents a beautifully deep ruby hue, inviting you into its complex aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and subtle hints of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied richness, complemented by a vibrant acidity that adds brightness and liveliness. The tannins are notable, providing a firm structure while still allowing the wine to remain approachable and smooth. With a dry profile, this exquisite Reserva beautifully marries fruit intensity with a gracefully lingering finish, making it an ideal choice for pairing with hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.

While its reputation as a serious wine destination was eclipsed by France and Italy for many years, ignoring Spain today means missing out on some of the world's most exciting wines. Enjoying hundreds of miles of sun-kissed coastline and rocky interiors at higher elevations, Spain provides an ideal location for vineyards. Whether it is sparkling cavas from Catalonia, crisp Verdejos from Rueda, sublime Tempranillos from Ribera del Duero or inky Monastrells from Valencia, Spain has many wine styles to explore, all expressing the country's wildly unique terroir.
