2021 Mas Que Vinos ‘La Meseta’ Tempranillo, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla

Located in Castilla-la-Mancha, south central of Spain, this is dry land! Intense ripeness, powerful wines with character. Mas Que Vinos is a joint venture between 3 friends, all winemakers that started a friendship in Rioja in 1998. Three different philosophies, and experiences. Together they grow 35 hectares of vineyard ecologically farmed of old bush vines, some with over 80 years of age. The region is known for extreme climate conditions in which days are extremely hot, but nights are extremely cold allowing for grapes to shut down over night. Altitude of the vineyards sits at about 750 metres high with limestone and clay soils.  Why do we like it? This is a beautiful Tempranillo, with plenty of structure to it, warm and generous yet elegant. Ripe red and black fruit blends in with chocolate notes as well as early notes of tobacco and sandalwood. As a 2021 vintage, this is the bottle that you can keep for a few years and enjoy with more maturation.
