Gik Live Blue Wine (Spain)

Saturday May 30, 2020
We finally get around to tasting the blue wine from Spain. Since this is a sunny spring afternoon, it was a good time to pop it open and have a clear palate to see what I can compare it to. Word on the street is it is too sweet and not a good regular drinking wine. Well, I'll be the judge of that Mister.

Grapes: 80% Tempranillo, 15% Garnacha Tinto, 5% Viura
Vinification: The grapes varieties were fermented together and the pulp was left to macerate with the skins, but without the stalks, for about 20 days at a temperature of between 25 and 30 degrees. It was kept in special tanks for 12 months during which time it was decanted on three occasions to remove the lees. In autumn of the following year it was put into 225 litre oak casks, where it remained for twelve months and was decanted twice each year. After this it was bottled and left to settle for 6 months before being released onto the market.
Appearance: The wine has a slightly purple, ruby colour with golden gleams from its long period in cask. Much of the colour comes from the Garnacha grape.
Aroma: The aroma has characteristics from its oak ageing - vanilla, black pepper and hints of tobacco.
Taste: Warm fruit flavours with nuances of vanilla and tobacco. It is smooth and medium bodied with a good length.

Spanish Tempranillo towers over other reds thanks to its big notes of cherry and red berries, and its versatility with food—this medium-bodied wine is great with crowd-pleasing meals like pizza, tacos, and pasta. As an unaged Joven wine, 2017 Torre De Rejas Joven Tempranillo has an exciting sense of newness, which shines through in its fresh and fruity profile.
