Red wine | Rioja
Allow me to introduce you to a wine that encapsulates the rich history and singular terroir of Rioja: the 1890 Manzanos Viñedo Singular. This is not just a wine; it's a journey through time, a reflection of the Manzanos family's dedication to winemaking since 1890. 
Crafted with meticulous care, this exquisite red wine is predominantly made from Tempranillo, the noble grape of Rioja. The 'Viñedo Singular' designation signifies that the grapes originate from a specific, exceptional vineyard known for its unique characteristics, resulting in a wine that truly expresses its origin. The 2019 vintage has resulted in a balanced and well-structured wine. 
As you swirl the wine in your glass, you'll be greeted by an inviting bouquet of red fruit notes. As the wine opens up, subtle earthy undertones mingle with hints of oak and a delicate spice, adding complexity and depth to the aroma. The wine is dry on the palate, with a perfect harmony of acidity and tannins. It is aged in oak barrels, which gives the wine the spicy and oaky notes. 
The 1890 Manzanos Viñedo Singular is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its robust character makes it an excellent companion to grilled meats, such as lamb or steak, as well as hearty stews and roasted vegetables. The wine's subtle earthy notes also make it a great match for mushroom-based dishes and aged cheeses. Serve it at around 16°C to fully appreciate its complexity and character. You will notice the oak notes even better if you leave the wine open for around 20 minutes after having opened the bottle. 
Choosing the 1890 Manzanos Viñedo Singular is not just about selecting a wine; it's about embracing a legacy, a tradition, and a commitment to excellence. It's a wine that tells a story, and I invite you to be a part of it. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or a curious novice, this Rioja gem is sure to impress and delight, making any occasion a special one.
