This limited production single-vineyard wine is made from vines over one hundred years old (planted in 1902). The yearly production is 50 cases. Produced from the finest dry-farmed vines of this Finca (parcel). Morenillo will easily age for more than a decade.
Winemaking Notes: 15 months in 500-liter French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes: This virtually extinct indigenous variety reveals a bright ruby color and expressive aromas of raspberry, dried flowers, Indian spices, and smoky minerals. On the palate, sweet red fruit flavors are complemented by vibrant mineral notes and a touch of peppery spice. Despite its richness, the wine remains fresh and impressively energetic, finishing with excellent lift and a lingering floral note.
Pairing Suggestions: Finca Morenillo is a great match for spicy BBQ, beef brisket or smoked pork.
