Description

Allow me to introduce you to a wine that captures the heart of Rioja, the Milenrama Tempranillo from the esteemed Bodegas Casa Primicia. This wine is a beautiful expression of the Tempranillo grape, the workhorse of Rioja, known for its ability to produce wines of character and complexity. Casa Primicia, a winery with deep roots in the Rioja Alavesa region, has crafted a wine that honors tradition while embracing modern winemaking techniques. The name Milenrama, Spanish for yarrow, is a plant depicted on the label, hinting at the earthy, herbaceous notes that can be found in the wine.

The Milenrama Tempranillo showcases a deep ruby color, a visual promise of the rich experience that awaits. On the nose, it bursts with aromas of ripe red fruits – think cherries and raspberries – intertwined with hints of spice, like a whisper of cinnamon and a touch of vanilla from its time in oak. As you take your first sip, the wine's dry profile immediately engages your palate, allowing the vibrant fruit flavors to shine through. The tannins are well-structured but smooth, providing a pleasant texture that coats the mouth. The earthy undertones and subtle herbal nuances that develop on the mid-palate are the fingerprints of Rioja's unique terroir, the soil, and climate that lend this wine its distinct identity. It finishes with a lingering, satisfying length, leaving you with a pleasant warmth and a desire for another glass.

This is not just a wine; it is a journey to the sun-drenched vineyards of Rioja. The Milenrama Tempranillo is a versatile wine that pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of dishes. Its medium-bodied nature and balanced acidity make it an ideal match for roasted meats, such as lamb or chicken, and grilled vegetables. Think of pairing it with traditional Spanish tapas, like Manchego cheese and jamón. Its fruit-forward character also makes it a delightful accompaniment to tomato-based pasta dishes or even a hearty lentil stew. If you're looking for a wine to elevate your next dinner party or a quiet evening in, this Tempranillo from Casa Primicia is an excellent choice. It's a testament to the quality of Rioja wines, showcasing the region’s ability to produce elegant, flavorful reds that are approachable and enjoyable. With an alcohol percentage of 14%, it's best served at a comfortable 16°C, which will allow all of its flavors to fully express themselves. Enjoy this classic expression of Rioja, crafted with care and tradition.
