Description

Nestled in Fompedraza, a quaint village in Valladolid province, Bodegas Gondomar del Reino produces wines with distinctive character and personality, brimming with fruity nuances and robust flavors. Their wines are a reflection of the terroir and the primary grape variety, Tempranillo. Hailing from one of the northern hemisphere’s highest vineyard regions, with some vineyards reaching over 1,000 meters above sea level, these wines are as exceptional and matchless as the surrounding natural landscape. The wine has a medium-high layered red color with hints of brick red on the rim of the glass. With a spectacular intensity, black fruits, violets, and cocoa stand out, with are some hints of dairy. The elegant wood creates a toasted background with hints of kitchen spices. The good symbiosis of ripe black fruit tannins with the essences of the wood creates a complex intensity of flavors: licorice, toffees, American tobaccos, minerals, and autumn leaves. Released at drinking age, but will cellar well for another 8+ years. Pairs beautifully with a selection of tapas, slowcooked beef or a game casserole.
