Rio Lindo means beautiful river in Spanish, and that is certainly how you could describe this wine once it flows.
On the warm plateau of La Mancha, in the heart of Spain, one finds this powerful, full-bodied wine. With aromas of black cherry, blackberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Thanks to a long and spicy finish, the Rio Lindo Syrah certainly does not disappoint and offers excellent value for money.
Syrah is a grape variety that requires warmth to ripen properly, and La Mancha certainly does not lack warmth. There is a famous saying in La Mancha: tres meses de invierno y nueve de infierno. This translates to: three months of winter and nine months of hell. I think you get the idea. Temperatures there can rise to as high as 40 degrees in the summer. This is due to the warm continental climate that prevails there. Consequently, the vines are almost always pruned using the ‘bush vine’ method. Low to the ground so that as little water as possible evaporates during transport within the plant. Since this method makes mechanical harvesting impossible, all grapes must be harvested by hand. This means that a selection can already be made by hand during the harvest, and this is reflected in the quality!
BBQ or just
Notes of black pepper, tobacco, oak, and the typical cassis (characteristic of Syrah) make this wine a good companion for spicier dishes such as spicy oven-baked chicken or for the BBQ.
However, our customers' experience shows that this wine can also be enjoyed perfectly well on its own! Because the tannins have had plenty of time to ripen, the wine is well-balanced, and a bottle might just not be enough ;).
