Tintafina is the opposite of Casa Rojo's flagship Machoman and opposites always attract.
Tintafina (100% Tempranillo) was born in vineyards located in the DO Ribera del Duero. The grapes are vinified in thermo-regulated steel vats. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 14 months. Garnet-red in color, its nose offers aromas of stewed blackberries combined with hints of aromatic herbs such as thyme. Secondary aromas come from the ageing process: spices, roasting and toast. Intense and powerful, notes of compote and pastry envelop the palate, before structure and tannins set the lingering, surprisingly fresh finish.
Casa Rojo is an association of winemakers, sommeliers, wine enthusiasts and designers who wanted to market authentic Spanish wines from small family-run wineries featuring distinctive labels. They use only Spanish grape varieties such as tempranillo, garnacha, monastrell, macabeo or albariño and verdejo.
After creating wines all over Spain, José Luis Gómez and Laura Rojo decided to return to their native land in southern Spain. In 2009, they built a winery and planted a vineyard in the unique Paraje de La Raja, a fertile valley located between the Sierra del Carche and the Sierra de La Pila, in the Altiplano of the Murcia region. Today, the vineyard comprises 23 hectares of Monastrell (Mourvèdre), Garnacha (Grenache) and Syrah. They also own another estate in Ribera del Duero. On these two terroirs, they produce exceptional wines with strong personalities.
