Tesalia is a blend of mostly Petit Verdot, Tintilla de Rota, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, carefully selected at the vineyard and at the table selection in the winery. Grapes sourced from different plots on steep slopes, all of them facing north-east.

Production:

Manually harvested at night and vinified separately. Controlled fermentation and maturing in French oak barrels for 12 months.

Tasting Notes:

Complex and inviting, with a plummy nose and a load of ripe black fruit aromas slightly spiced and mineral. On the palate, rich and succulent fruit should develop very nicely and blend in perfectly with the smooth, sweet tannins.

Note: Drink now or over the next decade.

THE WINERY 

Bodega Tesalia is a relatively young project started in 2008 by father and daughter, Richard Golding and Natalia, after falling in love with this beautiful part of southern Spain and the extended virgin land at the foothills of the Grazalema range very close to the historic village of Arcos de la Frontera in Cádiz. Here, they saw the enormous potential to put into practice their ideas and their passion and make reality their project, the “Tesalia Estate” which comprises of 106 hectares of land, of which 11 ha are under vines on north-facing slopes, planted with the varieties Tintilla de Rota, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, ideal varieties for this poor and unfertile terroir composed of clay and limestone soils.
