Torres Clos Ancestral Tinto Bio

Torres Clos Ancestral Tinto Bio from Torres in Penedes, Spain. Cherry red wine with a scent and taste palette of ripe fruit such as plums and cherries. Velvety textures and that touch of acidity make a balanced Tempranillo like this. Delicious with dishes with roasted meat, barbecue and game. Garnatcha. The most planted blue grape in Spain. Excellent for blending, although the best wines of Garnacha come from Priorato and are usually a monovarietal there. Garnacha is an important component of the traditional Rioja (usually up to 30 percent). In France, this grape is almost exclusively used as a cépage with other grape varieties. The Garnacha is a real Mediterranean grape that is addicted to the heat. The grape variety always follows the sun, and regularly changes its name. The vine is resistant to all kinds of diseases. The grape has a thin skin with little pigment. The grape prefers poor and dry soils with many (pebble) stones. Low in tannin and sensitive to oxidation, so this is not a wine for keeping. The wines of the Garnacha are characterized by a very fruity, almost sweet taste in which blackberries, cherry, kirsch, coffee, cocoa, figs and some pepper can be discovered. They contain little acid. The Tempranillo grape is derived from ‘temprano’, which means ‘early’; the grape ripens early and can therefore be one of the first to be harvested. Tempranillo has different names and local variants: Tinto Fino, Tinto del País, Tinta de Toro, Tinto de Madrid, Ull de llebre and Cencibel. Probably some of these grapes are not entirely identical, but clones of the Tempranillo. The Moneu grape is an old variety that was developed by Torres
