Domaine de Lauriers Tempranillo

Domaine de Lauriers Tempranillo is a bold and expressive red with Iberian soul and southern French flair. This is Tempranillo far from its native Rioja. In the glass, it glows a deep garnet, promising warmth and intrigue. The nose is a rich tapestry of ripe black cherry, crushed plum, and sweet spices—clove and a touch of vanilla—lifted by a whisper of wild herbs and a faint, dusty earthiness. The palate? Supple and generous, with soft tannins and a mellow structure. Juicy dark berries mingle with hints of cocoa and tobacco, finishing with a gentle, warming spice. It's smooth and crowd-pleasing, with just enough edge to keep things interesting. This is a wine for hearty fare—grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or a well-aged Manchego by candlelight. A Tempranillo that speaks with a French accent, but the passion, oh, the passion is all Spanish.
