Tagonius Red wine

Tagonius Crianza 2022 is a remarkable red wine from Bodegas Tagonius, showcasing the winery's dedication to achieving a perfect balance between fruit and wood. This carefully crafted wine is made from a selection of the finest grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Tempranillo, and Merlot, all of which are known for their exceptional quality. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness, maintaining a natural acidity that imparts freshness to the wine.

The winemaking process includes a pre-fermentation maceration at 8°C for five days, followed by a controlled-temperature alcoholic fermentation and a 21-day maceration. After fermentation, the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks. It then matures for 10 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels, allowing it to develop a harmonious balance between the fruits and the wood before being bottled and further aged.

With an intense, vibrant cherry color, Tagonius Crianza is visually appealing, exhibiting brightness and high intensity with a garnet rim typical of aged wines. The nose is rich and complex, offering aromas of ripe black fruits such as blackberry and cassis, alongside tropical and mineral notes, toasted nuances of caramel and cocoa, hints of underbrush, cedar box, and balsamic spices.

On the palate, this wine is straightforward and well-structured, featuring polished tannins that lend a meaty quality to its character. The balance between acidity and alcohol is remarkable, making it an elegant and well-rounded choice. Tagonius Crianza pairs beautifully with red meats and game dishes, as well as aged cheeses, making it a versatile companion for a variety of culinary delights. Enjoy the depth and complexity of this exquisite wine, perfect for any occasion.
