The Cuatro Rayas Tempranillo Organic is a distinguished red wine from Spain’s Rueda region, crafted by Bodega Cuatro Rayas. Made exclusively from organically grown Tempranillo grapes, this wine reflects the winery’s commitment to quality and environmental stewardship.
Tasting Notes:
• Appearance: Bright and clean, with a mid-depth ruby red color and purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense notes of ripe berries, including dark cherries, plums, blackberries, and blueberries.
• Palate: Smooth and velvety, offering flavors of blackberries, boysenberries, and dark cherries, with a well-balanced acidity and a long, lingering finish.
Food Pairing:
This versatile Tempranillo pairs excellently with a variety of dishes. A recommended pairing is roasted eggplants stuffed with quinoa and mushrooms, where the wine’s fruit-forward profile complements the earthy flavors of the dish.
Winemaking Process:
Grapes are harvested at night to preserve their freshness and aromatic potential. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks with daily racking. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for three months, imparting subtle complexity and depth. A mineral filtration process is employed, making the wine suitable for vegan consumers.
Sustainability Commitment:
Bodega Cuatro Rayas embraces the ‘Green & Social’ philosophy, implementing eco-friendly agricultural practices that respect the environment and promote biodiversity in the vineyards. Additionally, they support local rural communities by ensuring fair working conditions and contributing to the region’s sustainable development.
