A striking example of a modern Cabernet Sauvignon/Tempranillo blend synonymous with the Rioja and Navarra regions of Spain.
Kuitpo Cabernet forms a firm spine with it's muscular dark fruit—Tempranillo adds fleshy red fruit and soft earthy tannin.
The 2006 K1 Cabernet Tempranillo is a rich wine with dominant plum jam and crushed blackcurrant. Velvety Cabernet tannins fill the palate, with a savoury earthiness from the Tempranillo component followed through to a fruit-driven, dark chocolate finish.
The cool climate Cabernet acidity and fine texture will ensure this wine will drink beautifully for many years.
Excellent with full flavoured meat and rich tomato-based dishes or cured meats.
