2011 Quinta Sardonia "QS2" Red Blend Vino de la Tierra de Castilla

The 2011 QS2 is mostly Tempranillo, complemented by Bordeaux grapes aged in oak barriques and egg-shaped cement vats. Since the 2011, the wine that makes it into the blend is more or less based on the soils. The nose is dominated by blue and black fruit aromas with dark spices and a hint of smoke. In 2011, they started working with whole-clusters ‰ÛÒ in fact, the bottom part of the clusters, which allows them to harvest a little earlier ‰ÛÒ and it shows in the freshness within the power and ripeness of the wine.
