Tiabras 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, Spain

Description

This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.

Winemaking Navarra is in the middle of a foreign grape renaissance, creating classic international styles from Spanish soils. For this reason, we take great care to emphasize Cabernet Sauvignon’s signature expression. Fermentation in concrete tanks highlights fresh varietal aromas and fruit-forward flavors as we keep the grape skins in constant contact with the wine. Oak aging is the last step, lasting several months to shape Cabernet’s defining structure. The final wine is a love letter from Spanish vineyards to those who appreciate an expertly crafted, timeless Cabernet Sauvignon.

Vintage 2020 was an exceptionally warm year in the vineyards of Navarra. These high temperatures were balanced by abundant rainfall throughout summer, keeping the stony soils and our old Cabernet Sauvignon vines refreshed as they nourished small clusters of plump grapes. September brought dry weather and an early harvest. We work closely with Mother Nature to encourage the best expression of the land by utilizing organic vineyard practices as we adapt to each new vintage. This harmony results in complex wines with impeccable purity and polish.

Pairing Logic This wine has all the characteristics of a classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Its pronounced aromas, rich fruit flavors and sturdy tannins make it a perfect match to herbal seasonings and sauces served with lean, high-protein cuts of red meat. Vegetarian dishes should feature hearty root vegetables and legumes with generous salt to emphasize the wine’s full body and ripe fruit flavors. Select seasonings with herbs like rosemary and bay leaf to mirror its aromas and create a unified dining experience.
