Summary: Marques de Tezona is named in honour of Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar “El Cid” - the legendary Castili an nobleman, general and champion of central Spain. The wine is primarily sourced by the dry, high altitude plateaus of Castilla la Mancha and is made without the influence of oak as vibrant and versatile companion to richly flavoured dishes.

Winemaking: Selected hand-picked harvest. Fermentation is undertaken in stainless steel tanks for 10 days, controlled to 26° C, with daily pump- overs to achieve optimum aroma, colour and tannin extraction. Malo-lactic fermentation and maturation is in stainless steel, ensuring focus on varietal character before a light fining and filtration.

2019 Vintage: A very good vintage for the vignerons of the region. Even and consistent weather conditions throughout the growing season as well as during the harvest meant fruit was in optimum condition. Grapes showed good concentration of flavour and colour.

Tasting Note: The nose is fresh and expressive with aromas of forest berries, dried herbs and savoury spice. The palate is fruit driven and medium bodied with ripe berry fruit flavours framed by subtle savoury spices and round tannins. A drink now style that’s perfect with a palte of hard cheeses and charcuterie.
