A bold, elegant red from Dominio Fournier, this 2019 Crianza is made from 100% Tempranillo, known as Tinta del Pais in the Ribera. The fruit is 100% cheeses. Grapes are hand-picked.  After a meticulous selection, the must is fermented in stainless steel and wood, with and additional ageing in 100% French oak.  The use of only French oak is a departure from the Spanish winemaking tradition of ageing wine in American oak barrels.  The result is an elegant wine which allows the essence of Tempranillo to show its full potential.  This medium-bodied wine is silky on the palate with loads black fruit accented with hints of spice, it's a star pairing with hearty dishes, most meats, and mature cheeses.
