Sweet plums and red and black berries with a savory edge of dried meat, licorice and iron. This is quite approachable now, with its medium body and chalky tannins that melt away with the savory fruit on the palate. Excellent length. Already drinkable, but give it another year to allow it to develop more complexity.

The 2018 Dehesa La Granja is an intricate red wine. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers aromas and flavors of chalky notes, licorice, black fruits, and oak. Pair it with grilled lamb kebabs.

Winemaker Notes

Clean and bright with a black cherry hue. Complex with aromas of ripe black fruit and liquorice with notes of roasted coffee beans and touches of vanilla and pastry coming through. A fleshy entry with well-balanced acidity, a good presence of tannins which provides nice length on the palate. Black fruit aromas with liquorice come through followed by a sensation of sweetness in which vanilla notes come to the fore.

A perfect accompaniment for red meats, such as sirloin steak with mustard in a red wine sauce. It is also the perfect accompaniment for feathered game, such as pigeon stew with mushrooms and truffles or with duck magret in a blueberry sauce.

Vineyard Notes

Located in western Spain in the province of Zamora, the winery is built on a sprawling ranch, where the 250 hectares of high-quality Tempranillo vines produce wines that are large in volume, structure and depth.
