Vineyard Notes: Flaco Tempranillo is sourced from dry farmed vines planted from 1995-2003 in the Arganda and Navalcarneros districts, located southeast and west of the city of Madrid. The vineyards are composed of sand, limestone and clay soil. The continental climate's hot days and cool nights plays a major role in the slower, yet more balanced ripening process of the grape.

Winemaking Notes: Flaco Tempranillo ages in large stainless steel and cement tanks. Maceration and fermentation takes 10 days, followed by 2 days of post maceration at cool temperatures (41F).

Tasting Notes: Flaco has an impressive pedigree, but still manages to be universally enjoyable—and affordable. A highly perfumed nose evokes red berries and floral pastilles, and a hint of white pepper lends a spicy touch. The wine is plush, seamless and gently sweet, offering raspberry and cherry compote flavors that become more energetic on the back half. It finishes smooth with harmonious tannins. The fresh, pure character of this Tempranillo makes it an extremely versatile wine to pair with food. Try pork, chicken, and flaky fish like hake, cod or flounder. This has the fruit and acidity to match with red meats, as well.
