2014 Castelo de Medina Castilla y León Syté

Tasting note Castelo de Medina Syté

Spanish red wine with an intense aroma of ripe red fruit oak and spices. The smooth full flavor is balanced and mild. Very tasty with lightly spiced (vegetarian) dishes.

Description

The bodega Castelo de Medina is one of the most successful producers of Rueda the sought-after white wine from the Valladolid area. Although the name Rueda is exclusively reserved for white wine, there is also a lot of red wine in the region that is sold as vino de la tierra (local wine). It is therefore difficult to compete with the famous neighborhood Ribera del Duero where top quality red wines come from. Yet Castelo de Medina does an attempt with the Syté. Everything has been done to make a high quality of a low yield vineyard. The syrah and tempranillo grapes ferment for a long time and the win ripens for more than a year on small oak casks. A special wine that does justice to the potential of Rueda as a red wine producer!
