The 2022 Capa Tempranillo from Castilla-La Mancha, Spain, is a true delight for the senses. Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep ruby red colour with purple undertones, hinting at its youthful vibrancy. The nose is immediately greeted with intense aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, accompanied by subtle hints of vanilla and spice from its time spent in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and well-integrated tannins. Flavours of dark fruits, such as blackcurrants and figs, dance on the tongue, complemented by notes of tobacco and a touch of balsamic. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of its impeccable balance and complexity. This 2022 Capa Tempranillo showcases the best of the region and is a true testament to the expertise of its Spanish producers.
