Aroma: cherry, blackberry, vanilla, sweet spice

Palate: ripe red fruit, dark cherry, cedar, soft tannins

Well-rounded Crianza from the high chalk plateau east of Aranda de Duero, with cherry, blackberry and vanilla from 14 months in mixed oak and approachable soft tannins.

What it pairs with

  • Cordero asado (roast lamb)
    The wine's medium body and cherry fruit pair beautifully with the mild, fatty Castilian roast lamb.
  • Morcilla de Burgos
    Blood sausage's richness is balanced by the wine's freshness and red fruit.
  • Pasta with meat ragu
    Approachable tannins and red fruit suit a simple pasta dish.

History

Hacienda Solano sources Tinto Fino from parcels near Hontangas on the chalk-clay high plateau east of Aranda de Duero, where continental conditions produce wines with natural freshness and consistent fruit ripeness.
