Produced by bodega Cortijo Los Aguilares in Ronda, DO Málaga-Sierras de Málaga, Cortijo Los Aguilares Tinto is a blend of Tempranillo, Grenache and Syrah.
Interestingly, this young Spanish red wine comes from vineyards with clay-limestone soils perched at 900 metres of altitude.
Hand-harvested in little boxes, the organically grown grapes were first macerated for 24 hours and then sorted, destemmed and fermented in concrete tanks under controlled temperature. Then Cortijo Los Aguilares Tinto 2021 went through malolactic fermentation and was aged for 4 months in the tanks.
Fresh and utterly smashable, this red wine from Málaga will pair excellently with cold meats and medium aged cheeses.
