Bodegas De Alto's Te Quiero Red Field Blend is an expressive wine that reveals the heart and soul of La Mancha in every sip. This unique blend comes from two carefully selected, 100% organic vineyards located at over 1,000 meters of altitude. This altitude creates significant temperature differences between day and night, helping the grapes ripen optimally and reach their full aromatic potential. The combination of younger, managed vineyards and older, predominantly dry-farmed shrub vineyards contributes to the wine's complexity and depth, while irrigated younger vineyards impart vitality and youthfulness.
Vinification and Flavor Profile: A Symphony of Rich Aromas
The vinification process for the Te Quiero Red Field Blend utilizes both hand- and machine-harvested fruit. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and undergo controlled fermentation to capture the vibrant, rich red fruit aromas. Following primary fermentation, the wine is aged in barrels for three months, adding structure without overpowering the natural fruitiness. The result is a wine with a beautiful, deep purple color and a flavor profile rich in ripe dark fruits, subtle spices, and a warm, inviting complexity. The tannins are well-rounded, and the finish remains vibrant and juicy, making this wine both refined and surprisingly drinkable.
A Versatile Accompanist for Various Occasions
Te Quiero Red Field Blend is more than just a wine; it's a tribute to the love of Spanish culture, its people, and, of course, its wine. This field blend pairs effortlessly with a variety of meals, from a casual dinner at home to more formal occasions. It's surprisingly versatile, vegan-friendly, and emphasizes a spirit of accessibility and enjoyment. Whether at the table with a plate of charcuterie, tapas, or a savory ratatouille, or simply enjoyed on its own, Te Quiero Red Field Blend is always at home and ready to please. This makes it an ideal everyday wine that certainly won't disappoint.
