TASTING SHEET
SERVICE TEMPERATURE: 15-17 ºC
ALCOHOL: 14,5%

WINEMAKING
100% Tinta de Toro, vinified according to the traditional method, with 100% destemmed grapes and yeasts from the vineyard itself. After fermenting in stainless steel for 18 days, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels (30% new). Afterwards, it will begin aging for 14 months.

TASTING NOTES
It displays an intense Picota cherry colour followed by delicious enveloping aromas of fruit in liqueur (cherries and plums) embellished with herbal tones and spicy notes. Ripe black fruit smoothly integrates toasted tones from the oak, respecting the sensations of primary aromas from the vines. Coffee blends in with flowers, preparing us for velvety, juicy, and somewhat restrained sensations in the mouth. It has a strong liqueur taste but with sweet tannins which pleasantly delights the palate, while a comforting warmth from the barrels which are toasted less each year makes Almírez a wine which seems to lose tannicity with every vintage as it gains in balance and depth. A long and flavoursome finish leaves an amazing sensation of harmony.

MARIDAJE
Due to its high concentration and balancing acidity, Almírez dares with practically any dish. Stewed red meats and highly cured cheeses are two of its ideal pairings, both contain high percentages of protein and fat, two crucial elements when we think about pairing a wine like Almírez. It even dares to hunt larger game, deer or wild boar, for example.
