Quinta Sardonia 'Sardon' Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon, Spain 2022

Description

Quinta Sardonia “Sardon” 2022 is a red wine from Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León in Spain, crafted by Quinta Sardonia, an estate located just west of Ribera del Duero. The 2022 vintage is primarily Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) blended with small portions of Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Malbec. The winery follows biodynamic principles, focusing on purity of fruit and expression of terroir from the limestone-rich soils.

In the glass, the wine shows a deep ruby color with violet reflections. The nose opens with ripe red and black fruits such as cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with floral notes of violet, Mediterranean herbs, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, showing juicy fruit balanced by fine, silky tannins and lively acidity. Flavors of wild berries, cocoa, and subtle mineral tones carry through to a long and elegant finish with a touch of earthiness.
