Bodegas Iturria La Viña de Segundo Tempranillo 2019 750ml

Bodegas Iturria is the project of Xavier Iturria, born in Bordeaux in 1977, who grows the grapes, makes the wine and owns the winery. The winery is in DO Toro.

La Viña de Segundo is 100% Tinta de Toro, Toro's local strain of Tempranillo, from 35-year-old ungrafted, bush-trained vines at 650 meters. The vineyard is certified organic. The winery describes an 8-day maceration, native yeasts, fermentation at no more than 27°C, malolactic in barrel and then 6 to 8 months in French oak. Only about 8,000 bottles are made.

The winery describes a bright cherry-red wine with fresh red fruit, a touch of vanilla and very fine, silky tannins, calling it fruity, fresh and easygoing.

Against Bodegas Faustino Rioja Crianza, La Viña de Segundo is a small-production organic Tempranillo from old, ungrafted bush vines; for a fresh, fruit-forward Spanish red with a grower's touch, choose Segundo.

The winery suggests serving it at 15 to 18°C, and says it can be decanted. Pour it with grilled lamb chops, chorizo or roast chicken.
