Spain la Zorra Rufete-Tempranillo 2013*

At La Zorra Winery, the hard fieldwork, the delicate harvest and the careful elaboration of scents and flavours allow us to express something deep inside: a debt of honour to our ancestors, and a single passion: winemaking.   It is an icon of the Sierra de Francia, and has been referenced in the Michelin Guide since 2007. The finest ingredients are prepared with a respectful appreciation for the gastronomical tradition.

Rufete is an interesting indigenous grape variety from the Sierra de Francia and is the best guarded secret in the DO Sierra de Salamanca.Bright cherry with a tint of pomegranate. Crisp aromas, plenty of red fruit with light notes of oak, whose toastiness and elegance is reminiscent of sweet spices. Powerful, expressive, mature tannins and fruitiness with a long finish.
