Manuel Quintano 2021 "El Pionero" Tempranillo - 750ml

Manuel Quintano El Pionero is a remarkable wine from the Rioja Alavesa region. Let me share some details about it:

• Origin: The vineyards of Labastida, which consist of over 50 plots, serve as the source for this wine. The winemakers carefully select a minimum of two and up to five parcels per term. Most of the vines in these vineyards are Tempranillo, with some Garnacha also present.
• Tasting Notes:
  • Color: Deep cherry red with violet reflections and a medium-high intensity.
  • Aromas: Hints of licorice, red fruit, and lollipops, complemented by notes of pastries, coffee, and balsamic nuances.
  • Palate: A sweet entry followed by balanced acidity, providing freshness. The wine presents a round and elegant finish, echoing its aromatic profile.
