New World Tempranillo

We are still in Argentina and loving it. Not only is the signature Malbec wine an affordable varietal from this new world region of wine, Argentina also produces Tempranillo wine which is best known as a Spanish varietal. With its dark fruit flavors, strong and complex aromas, the Tempranillo is a versatile wine that is fruity, full-bodied without too much oak or substantial acidity.

Preludio Vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina produces this wonderful, good value wine. The grapes are hand picked at dawn in order to harness the extraction and early morning freshness of the grape. If a wine could be treated like a diva, this one would be it. In return, we are rewarded with a well balanced wine with dark, fruit flavors, soft attack and strong tannins. At $14.00 a bottle this wine is a winner.
