Dominio de Fontana Tempranillo Syrah Roble 2021
An opulent red that is gloriously aromatic, with expressive notes of ripe, red berries from the Tempranillo, enhanced by a touch of pepper from the Syrah, spicy cloves and a subtle hint of vanilla. Concentrated and full bodied on the palate with remarkable freshness and length.
Dominio de Fontana produces superb single estate wines from the DO Uclés, Central Castile. The estate is located in one of the most northern and highest areas of Central Castile, with the vineyards situated at 700 to 900 metres above sea level. The ideal growing conditions at this altitude produce wines of great purity, freshness and varietal expression. The estate is managed as an integrated ecosystem, which includes hundreds of century old Quercus oak trees, and the vines are cultivated sustainably. 50% of the vineyard is grown organically and Dominio de Fontana is working towards 100% in 2019. These are authentic wines with a sense of place and a distinctive Spanish personality.

These highaltitude vines are sustainably cultivated, without the use of pesticides and minimal treatments are employed. Each variety is carefully managed according to the different soils and growing conditions, in order to achieve perfectly balanced vines, capable of expressing both the character of the variety and the terroir.
