2018 Limited Release Tempranillo
Winemaker Notes
The 2018 Tempranillo has an incredible blackberry, cherry and strawberry aroma that swirls with toasty vanilla and coffee roast. American oak barrels give this wine lovely vanilla, mocha and tobacco characters that are well balanced with dark fruit, spice and mineral notes that come from our deep iron rich soils. The finish has a hint of smoke and is long and full in flavor.
Vineyard Notes
The Kautz Family grows these Tempranillo grapes in Calaveras County right in their Estate vineyards. The vineyards are located 2400 ft. above sea level where warm days are cooled by the evening mountain air. This area’s unique solid of decomposed granite mixed with volcanic sediment and red clay produce a wonderful mineral component.
Serving Suggestions: Cured meats, such as prosciutto, coppa colla and dry chorizo are fantastic pairings. Also, try baked brie and blue cheese.
