Estrella, meaning "star" in Spanish, is a radiant blend of Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon that shines with brilliance. Tempranillo is Spain’s most widely planted grape and forms the foundation of its wine industry. Cabernet Sauvignon, though not native to Spain, has become a key blending grape due to its structure and firm tannins.
Spain’s warm climate allows both varietals to fully ripen, delivering concentrated fruit flavours while preserving fresh acidity. On the nose, expect ripe dark fruits, dried herbs, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice. On the palate, this full-bodied red unfolds with layers of blackberry, dark cherry, and delicate notes of chocolate and tobacco. The finish is long and lingering with a perfect balance of richness and acidity.
