A golden trio
Vina San Juan comes from the Felix Solis winery, established in the early 1950s. After nearly 70 years, the craftsmanship is evident. The winery is known for its approachability while maintaining its Spanish character. For this wine, they used Tempranillo, a Spanish high-flyer, along with Merlot and Syrah, grapes originally from France that also thrive in Spain. The Tempranillo gives Vina San Juan the necessary strength and spice, while the Merlot and Syrah ensure the wine is rounded and never heavy or intense. A perfect duo, brought together here in a delicious glass of Spanish red wine.
