Viñas de la Erre / Tempranillo 2021

Tempranillo has been a staple of the Viñas de la Erre’s selections for years. One hot Baja summer afternoon, Ernesto and his mother were discussing future ventures for the winery. They decided to have a glass of wine, and she served Ernesto from a bottle of their own Tempranillo she kept in the fridge. Ernesto loved how the lower temperature enhanced the fruity notes, was refreshing and so rewarding at the same time. Ernesto recalled that in Mexico, people drink their beer, tequila, and water chilled...he thought why not a red wine? This sparked the idea to create a wine from their own Tempranillo vineyards that would be light, refreshing, and gratifying to discerning wine palates. By fermenting the juice in stainless steel, and withholding malolactic fermentation allows them to produce this style of wine while maintaining smooth tannins and the great components of Tempranillo.
