About this Wine

This beautiful Spanish wine is purple in colour, with a violet high layer that's very intense and concentrated. It's clean and bright with a nose that's enveloping with fruit aromas such as blackberries, currants and red fruits that appear along with floral aromas and liquorice, which is so characteristic of the Tempranillo variety. On the palate it showcases pure fruit thanks to the maturity at the time of harvest. It's fresh with soft and well tamed tannins, leaving us with an aftertaste of red fruit and liquorice.

Zinio Bodegas was founded in 1986. In the same year, the winery was registered within the DOCa Rioja apellation. Owners are 200 local farmers who formed this cooperative winery with the aim of jointly marekting their entire grape production. Located in Uruñuela in the heart of Rioja Alta subzone, all the vineyards are situated in a privileged area for growing quality grapes thanks to its favorable microclimatic conditions and soils.

Wines of Spain

With 2.9 million acres of land planted in wine grapes, Spain is the most widely planted wine producing nation and second largest producer in the world. Many styles of wine are produced in the country most of which are based on native grape varietals.

The two most famous regions are Rioja and Ribera del Duero for their Tempranillo production. Rioja Tempranillo (the classic) will be lighter and fresher with red fruit flavours as compared to those from Ribera del Duero that are often deep purple, higher in alcohol with more tannins and intense black fruit character. Rioja is also known for producing Garnacha (Grenache), as well as rich, nutty whites from the indigenous Viura varietal.

In the Catalonia region, Spain is recognized for making a sparkling wine in the traditional method but using native grape varieties. This is called Cava. Priorat, a subregion within Catalonia specializes in making still red blends of Garnacha, Carignan and often Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon in a bold and full-bodied style. Together with Rioja, wines from Priorat have achieved DOCa/DOQ status signifying their quality.

Sherry is Spain’s famous fortified wine which can either be completely dry, lusciously sweet or somewhere in between. This is made in the southern region of Jerez.

Other notable Spanish wine styles include: Monastrell (AKA. Mataro/Mourvèdre), produced in the Jumilla region and refreshing white Albariño and Verdejo from north western Galacia.
