Description
Telmo Rodríguez Matallana is a standout wine from one of Spain's most innovative winemakers, Telmo Rodríguez. Known for his dedication to reviving traditional Spanish vineyards and winemaking practices, Rodríguez has become a respected figure in the world of fine wine. The Matallana is crafted in the Ribera del Duero region, an area renowned for producing some of Spain's most prestigious red wines. This wine is a true expression of the region's unique terroir, made primarily from old-vine Tempranillo, which lends it depth, complexity, and a sense of place.
This represents his philosophy of minimal intervention and respect for nature. The grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards, and farmed organically to ensure the highest quality fruit. In the winery, Rodríguez employs traditional methods, including fermentation with indigenous yeasts and aging in a combination of French oak barrels. The result is a wine that is both powerful and elegant, with rich flavors of dark fruit, earthy undertones, and a well-structured, long finish.
