A Veredas Tinto 2018 is a minimally intervention Tempranillo, made with grapes from the family estate “La Zapatera” in Galilea. An honest, artisanal wine, fermented in concrete tanks with native yeasts and aged in French oak, it purely reflects the identity of the vineyard.
Intense cherry red in color, it stands out for its floral and balsamic aromas, along with subtle notes of aging. On the palate, it is dense, structured, and surprisingly fluid, with an explosion of fruit and spices. Round tannins, depth, and a long finish that invites you to continue enjoying it.
