Growing Conditions

What can we say about the 2021 growing season, other than it was memorable. Hot, dry, and that’s it. Not surprisingly, growing wine grapes in 2021 was a challenge. Harvest commenced at least two weeks ahead of normal and ended by October 1st.

Food Pairing

The tannin structure behind the Tempranillo grape melds superbly with the high acid content of tomatoes. Throw in some spice and you have a superb match.
