Yllera 'Coelus' - Tempranillo

This 2022 red wine hails from Rioja, Spain, and is crafted from 100% Tempranillo grapes. Coelus is a labor of love by the Yllera family, with a 6 - generation winemaking heritage. In Roman Mythology, 'Coelus' was the God of the sky, and all their labels honor the aviation pioneers. The vineyards, rich in stony and clay soils, specialize in La Rioja varietals like Tempranillo and Garnacha. This gives the wine a distinct aroma and a lively acidity. On the palate, you'll detect notes of licorice and red fruits such as strawberries and raspberries. This adaptable wine is a perfect match for a variety of dishes, including pasta and white meats.

To enjoy this Yllera 'Coelus' Tempranillo wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes after opening. Pour it into a wide - bowl wine glass to enhance the aroma. Serve it at a slightly cool temperature, around 60 - 64°F. When it comes to food pairings, as mentioned, it goes great with pasta and white meats. But you can also try it with mild cheeses or roasted vegetables. Store the unopened bottle in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight. Once opened, re - cork it tightly and keep it in the refrigerator. It's best to finish the opened bottle within 2 - 3 days to enjoy its full flavor.
