Rejon, 0.75L, 2021

Description:

Rejón is our best Tempranillo vineyard, located in El Pego in the region of Toro, and the vines are around 140 years old. The low yielding fruit shows the essence of an indigenous grape that reflects, like no other, the land where it is from. The harvest is manual, in boxes of 15 kg, and once in the winery it ferments in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 25°C for 20-25 days, before finishing in 225 liter French oak barrels. In these barrels it also undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for a minimum of 20 months.

Tasting Notes:

Opaque purple colour, very intense and complex on the nose with ripe black fruits (blackberries, plum) and mineral notes. It displays an unctuous mouthfeel, powerful and rounded, well-structured and meaty but at the same time balanced with round and wide sweet tannins. Elegant and flavourful, tasty with a long finish. Rejón is a wine that conveys, through the old vine where it comes from, the serenity and complexity of a fine wine.

Food Pairings:

This wine is ideal to pair with powerful stews, rice with meat game, grilled red meats, roasted lamb, pork and beef. Big game meat, spicy sausages and old cured cheeses.
