2014 Castelo de Medina Castilla y Leon 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 much sought-after white wine from the Valladolid area. Although the name Rueda is reserved exclusively for white wine, a lot of red wine is also produced in the region, which is sold as vino de la tierra (regional wine). It is therefore difficult to compete with the famous neighboring Ribera del Duero, where top quality red wines come from. Nevertheless, Castelo de Medina makes an attempt with the Syté. Every effort has been made to make a high quality from a low yield vineyard. The syrah and tempranillo grapes ferment for a long time and the win then ripens for over a year in small oak casks. A special wine that does justice to Rueda's potential as a red wine producer!
