Partial wood aging for this red wine
The vineyards for this red Tempranillo wine are located in La Mancha, one of the most famous wine regions in Spain. The climate in this area is continental with long, warm summers. Perfect for producing fully ripe wines like this Radio Boka Tempranillo. The vineyards for the Tempranillo grapes are situated at an altitude of over 600 meters, providing the grapes with the necessary coolness during the nights. This is important to prevent the grapes from ripening too quickly, which could otherwise render them unusable. The vines are not grown in a traditional, fully conditioned manner. No, these vines, over 30 years old, grow like bush vines, indeed, in bunches. This allows the grapes to grow completely independently. When the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are harvested by hand. Only the finest grapes are good enough for this Radio Boka. After vinification, the majority of the wine is aged in stainless steel vats. The remainder is aged in French oak barrels and will later be combined to create a perfect red wine.
What does Radio Boka Tempranillo taste like?
The end result of all the effort in the vineyards and the winery is phenomenal! The color is deep dark red, exactly as you'd expect from a Tempranillo wine. This Radio Boka is made from the Tempranillo grape, and we immediately sense its aroma: abundant red and black fruit and light, soft spices. The palate is a feast for the eyes, slightly creamy and velvety smooth with nuances of sultry fruit, a touch of spice, and soft spices like vanilla and cinnamon, all with a long, ripe finish. A delicious wine for every day!
