Torremilanos | "El Poron de Lara"

-Local Athens Pick-up Only-

This distinctive and expressive red wine is produced by Finca Torremilanos, located in the renowned Ribera del Duero region of Spain. Known for their commitment to biodynamic farming and traditional winemaking practices, Torremilanos crafts wines that are both authentic and full of character.

"El Poron de Lara" is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, harvested early and partially destemmed. The wine undergoes indigenous yeast fermentation and is aged in old barrels for 11 months, bottled without fining, filtration, or added sulfur. This process results in a medium-bodied wine with silky tannins and deep fruit expression. It features notes of ripe red fruits, blueberry compote, and hints of fresh flowers, with a mineral, toasted, and balsamic background.

Pairings

This versatile Tempranillo pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, including grilled red meats, charcuterie, and cured cheeses. Its robust profile and balanced acidity make it an excellent match for lamb chops, beef brisket, and aged Manchego cheese. Perfect for a hearty meal or as a delightful addition to a cheese platter. -AO
