Brand VineCo Global Passport 2022
The VineCo™ Global Passport Series takes us on a new adventure to the most prominent well-respected wine regions – from highly t outed up-and-coming regions to age old vineyards with long histories. A range of classic varietals to charismatic blends, this limited release wines are available for a short time by reservation only.
Varietal Bobal
Bobal is not well known but is the second most planted grape in Spain! Bobal wines are known for their fruity flavours, soft tannins and velvety finish. If you enjoy wines like Pinot Noir you will enjoy Bobal.
Varietal Tempranillo
This Spanish favourite offers cherry and red fruit flavours with earthy notes and hints of vanilla notes from oak. The flavours are big but not overpowering. Tempranillo is the dominant grape in Spain's framous Rioja blends.
Region Manchuela, Spain
Manchuela is framed by the Júcar and Cabriel rivers, whose sediments make up the limestone-based clay soils. Two large reservoirs to the north provide irrigation during the very dry growing season. Vineyards here are 600-1000m above sea level; the altitude has a cooling effect and combines with fresh Mediterranean winds to moderate the hot summer days. This helps slow ripening, resulting in white grapes that produce fresh, fruity wines with good acidity. Manchuela's red wines show excellent flavour, colour and mouthfeel.
Sweetness Dry
Dry wines like Cabernet and Pinot Grigio have no perceptible amount of sweetness to the drinker and will often be detected as having a drying character in the mouth.
Body Medium
Great for food, medium bodied wines typically have alcohol levels below 14% and less oak.
Oak Medium
Most red wines will have at least a medium oak level as it is an expected part of the taste of a red wine.
