Maturana Tinta is a variety with small compact clusters and small berries. These compact clusters make it very susceptible to botrytis in the vineyard. This variety has late bud break and early ripening yet follows a cycle similar to Tempranillo in terms of a quick accumulation of sugars. A high concentration of phenolic compounds, especially anthocyanins, produces wines with deep, high intensity garnet color. Maturana Tinta also has some pyrazines like French varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Tasting Notes: clean and bright. On the nose, it displays an intense aroma of black fruits (plum and blackberry), well integrated with hints of oak and notes of sweet spices. Tasty on the palate, with a smooth, pleasant and fresh entry. It has a long and persistent finish with touches of black fruit, spices and licorice. A perfect wine to enjoy during a barbecue with different meats. Beef short ribs and other braised beef dishes.
