Ramón Roqueta Tempranillo Reserva

A delicious Spanish red wine with character!

Sometimes you want a wine that immediately brings warmth and atmosphere to the glass. The Ramón Roqueta Tempranillo Reserva does exactly that. Ripe cherries, spicy notes, and a hint of warm vanilla make it delicious. Hailing from the heart of Catalunya and made of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine embodies the balance between tradition and modern refinement.

With 12 months of aging in American and French oak, it gains depth and elegance. Moreover, it was by De Grote Hamersma awarded an 8-, a confirmation of its excellent quality. This is the kind of wine that invites you to pour another glass again and again.

Character and tasting notes

On the nose, you immediately discover the charm of ripe cherries, complemented by subtle spices and soft vanilla notes. The use of wood is refined and never too heavy, allowing the fruity aromas ample room to come through.

On the palate, the wine reveals its perfect balance: the Cabernet Sauvignon provides firmness, while the Tempranillo brings roundness and softness. Fruity cherries, spicy accents, and vanilla intertwine into a harmonious whole. The 12 months of oak aging (70% American, 30% French) provides structure and length without losing freshness. The finish is elegant and persistent.

Wine & Food – perfect combinations

This Tempranillo Reserva is versatile at the table and comes into its own beautifully with:

• Roasted meat and barbecue dishes
• Hearty stews and brasados
• Hard cheeses such as Manchego
• Tapas and Spanish charcuterie
• As an aperitif during a drinks moment

Serve at 16–18°C for the optimal taste experience.
