We sat down with our friends Chelsey and Jim at JS Fine Wines to review our featured wine, the Alonso Lopez Rose’ Tempranillo. Wow! This elegant and medium body wine displays a beautiful range of pink Morganite in the glass to a classic salmon-pink in the bottle. Crisp and balanced with notes of fresh watermelon agua fresca, red fruit strawberries & raspberries, and subtle hints of green apple taffy. Absolutely delicious. We are becoming bigger fans of Tempranillo Rose’ – and the Alonso Lopez continues to justify that trend.
Hurry and stock up with the Alonso Lopez Tempranillo before the summer is gone. This one drinks well above its price point and is sure to impress you and your guest.
“Pairs perfectly with summer!” Drink and enjoy chilled anytime outdoors with grilled prawns or barbeque chicken drumettes.
Rioja is a wine region located in the northeast part of Spain and the oldest Designation of Origin (created in 1925). Consisting of three subzones, Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa, and Rioja Oriental, Rioja is famous for it’s indigenous Tempranillo grape varietal.
Free-run juice is a term used by winemakers to describe the juice that runs freely during the early crushing process. As grapes are placed on top of each other, the weight will naturally cause the grapes nearest the bottom to release their juice. The resulting juice represents the highest quality because it has the least contact with the skins and stems during the crushing phase.
