Tempranillo - Joven de Silos - Cillar de Silos - Ribera del Duero - Spain

The Cillar de Silos 'Joven de Silos' is a young red wine from the Ribera del Duero wine region of Spain, made from 100% Tempranillo grapes and without any oak ageing. Dark cherry red in colour the Joven de Silos displays elegant aromas of red fruits and ripe fruits of the forest, with mineral and violet floral tones and a youthful edge. On the palate, it is fruity, meaty yet silky with pleasant tannins. A long lingering intense yet fine wine, due to its refreshing acidity. This is perfect served with Spanish tapas and is also great with meat platters, grilled fish, rice dishes and a multitude of chicken dishes and light foods.
