Alonso & Pedrajo, Suañé Tinto Reserva 2019


This wine is a refined 100% Tempranillo with a deep red color and aromas of ripe red and black fruits, subtle oak notes, and a hint of spice. Fresh and supple on the palate, with silky tannins, a full structure, and a long, elegant finish. Delicious with grilled red meat, lamb dishes, stews, or mature cheeses.

The phonetically written "Suañé" in Spanish comes from the French word soigné, meaning well-groomed or refined. This is the starting point for this line of wines from Alonso & Pedrajo.

Winemaker

The winery is run by two families who, contrary to expectations, didn't grow up among the vines and don't have any family in the wine world. Coming from the fashion industry themselves, they decided to change course and pursue their passion. They purchased a beautiful 3.5-hectare plot where they cultivate sustainable/organic grapes and make wine in the purest possible way. The style of wine they make is reminiscent of how wine used to be made in Rioja: everything is macerated on the skins (including white!), aged partly in oak and partly in concrete. Everything is highly drinkable, yet with a distinctive flavor.
