Familia Torres, Coronas Tempranillo

The barrel-aged Coronas Tempranillo from the wine-growing region of Catalonia shows in the glass bright purple, ruby red. To the nose, this Miguel Torres red wine reveals all sorts of mulberries, blackberries, plums, black cherries and plums. As if that were not already impressive, the aging in small wooden barrels adds other aromas such as vanilla, black tea and oriental spices. The balanced Coronas Tempranillo from Spain is a cuvée, made from the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. After harvesting, the grapes immediately enter the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Then fermentation takes place in small wood at controlled temperatures. At the end of the fermentation, the Coronas Tempranillo is aged for 9 months in French and American oak barrels. This Spanish wine delights with its elegantly dry flavor. It was bottled with only 0.4 grams of residual sugar. As you would expect from a wine in the upper price range, this Spanish wine enchants with its fine balance despite its dryness. Aroma does not necessarily need a lot of residual sugar. On the tongue, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense and velvety texture. With its lively fruit acidity, the Coronas Tempranillo reveals itself impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The final of this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Catalonia, more precisely from Catalunya DO, finally thrills with considerable reverberation.
