The single-estate Tinto Fino from the Finca La Meda parcel at Tamaral, with greater concentration, mineral depth and structure than the entry Crianza, aged in French oak.

What it pairs with

  • Roast lamb with garlic
    The wine's mineral character and firm structure match Castilian roast lamb with garlic.
  • Grilled beef chop
    Dark fruit and firm tannins complement charred beef.
  • Aged Manchego with quince
    Sweet quince and hard sheep's cheese create a balance with the wine's mineral dark fruit.

History

Tamaral Finca La Meda was introduced in 2004 as the estate's premium tier, drawing on a specifically named plot for greater concentration and character than the standard Crianza.
