Attelea Tinto Roble Magnum Red Wine

Attelea Tinto Roble Magnum Red Wine

Overview:

Attelea Tinto Roble is a red wine known for its robust and well-balanced character. The "Magnum" format indicates that it comes in a larger 1.5-liter bottle, which is often used for aging and special occasions.

Key Characteristics:

Appearance:

• Color: Deep ruby red, indicating a rich and concentrated wine.

Aroma:

• Nose: Intense aromas of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries, blackberries, and plums. There are also subtle hints of spices, vanilla, and toasted oak, which come from the wine's aging process.

Flavor:

• Palate: Full-bodied with a well-balanced structure. The palate is dominated by flavors of ripe berries, complemented by notes of vanilla, cocoa, and a touch of smokiness from the oak aging. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing a pleasant mouthfeel and a long, satisfying finish.

Production:

• Grape Varieties: Typically made from a blend of grapes common in the region, such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, or others depending on the specific producer.
• Aging: The term "Roble" indicates that the wine has been aged in oak barrels for a shorter period than Crianza, Reserva, or Gran Reserva wines. This usually means a few months to a year in oak, which imparts subtle oak flavors without overwhelming the fruit character.

Brand and Heritage:

• Winery: Attelea is a brand known for producing quality wines that express the terroir and grape varieties of the region. The winery focuses on combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern practices to create distinctive and enjoyable wines.
• Region: While the specific region of production may vary, wines labeled "Tinto Roble" are often produced in renowned Spanish wine regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, or others known for their red wine production.

Serving Suggestions:

• Temperature: Serve at around 16-18°C (60-64°F) to fully appreciate its flavors and aromas.
• Decanting: Decanting the wine for about 30 minutes before serving can help to open up the aromas and soften the tannins.
• Food Pairings: Attelea Tinto Roble pairs well with a variety of dishes:
  • Red Meat: Grilled steaks, lamb chops, or roasted beef.
  • Poultry: Roasted chicken or duck with rich sauces.
  • Cheeses: Mature and hard cheeses such as Manchego or aged Cheddar.
  • Mediterranean Cuisine: Dishes with tomato-based sauces, grilled vegetables, and hearty stews.

Special Format:

• Magnum Bottle: The larger 1.5-liter bottle not only makes an impressive statement at gatherings but also offers the benefit of aging more gracefully than standard 750ml bottles due to the slower aging process.

This wine is perfect for those who enjoy a well-rounded, fruit-forward red wine with a touch of oak influence. It's suitable for both casual sipping and pairing with a variety of hearty dishes.
