Baluarte Roble 2021, J. Chivite Family Estates

Juicy, vibrant and lively, this is Spain’s answer to Beaujolais. Fermentation and maceration occur at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks where the three grapes (predominantly Tempranillo) are co-fermented. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked into American oak barrels where it is aged for 4 months. This is a wine with a satisfying mouth-feel, black fruits character, good acidity gives backbones and structure – and a lingering tasty finish.
