Rich garnet red in colour. The nose is varietal of Tempranillo, with juicy blackcurrants, plums, cherries, and fennel seed, but also a hint of black pepper from the Shiraz component. The palate is lively and rounded, with some fine chalky tannins, making a wine which is perfect for drinking alone but also goes with food such as herbed sausages or aromatic chickpea stew.

The Amigo de la Tierra Tempranillo (70%) and Syrah (30%), is made without oak ageing, from bush vine grapes grown on gently rolling silt and sand terrain in Corral de Almaguer, Toledo.

Tasting Notes

Deep bordeaux red colour. The nose is wonderfully varietal, with plenty of aromas of freshly pressed berries, plums and cherries especially. The palate is lively and rounded, making a wine which is fine for drinking alone but also with good steaks and sausages.
