Laderas De Tambarria Garnacha Single Vineyard – Rioja’s Hidden Gem
Exceptional Garnacha from a Singular Vineyard
Discover the elegance of Laderas De Tambarria Garnacha Single Vineyard, an outstanding expression of Rioja’s historic terroir, now available at FineSpiritsCY. This premium red wine hails from Alfaro, La Rioja, and is crafted exclusively from Garnacha grapes grown on a steep, single vineyard slope at Tambarria. Recognized as Viñedo Singular from the 2023 vintage, this plot is steeped in winemaking heritage, with bush vines planted even before its DOCa registration in 1940.
Handcrafted Excellence with Minimal Intervention
Each bottle begins with a meticulous manual harvest, with grapes carefully selected both in the vineyard and the cellar. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, with whole berries kept intact for optimal flavor extraction. The grapes undergo gentle moistening, light punching down, and finally, a refined malolactic fermentation. Aging continues for seven months on fine lees in American oak barrels, with frequent bâtonnage to enhance mouthfeel and complexity.
Complex, Aromatic, and Velvety Smooth
This Garnacha displays a vibrant cherry-red color with a luminous, steely rim. On the nose, it reveals layers of strawberry candy, thyme, and truffle, woven through with subtle tobacco leaf notes. The palate is smooth, fresh, and exceptionally balanced. Silky tannins create a velvety texture that lingers pleasantly.
Perfect Pairings and Serving Tips
Enjoy Laderas De Tambarria with flavorful dishes like grilled vegetables and romesco sauce, creamy mushroom risotto, or tender magret de canard. For dessert, try a triple chocolate mousse or an artisanal cheese selection. Serve slightly chilled at 14–16ºC to fully experience its depth and aroma.
Age Gracefully, Enjoy Fully
While this wine offers immediate enjoyment, it is best consumed within five years of harvest to appreciate its youthful freshness and complexity.
