Dehesa Gago
This elegant deep red wine made from 100% Tinta de Toro from Castilla Y Leon (Spain) displays the aromas of blueberries, dark cherry, smoke, and black tea on the nose. On the palate, it is juicy and fruit-filled, and though unoaked, it has pleasant grainy tannins and a very good balance. Dehesa Gago by Telmo Rodriguez is the perfect pairing with roast lamb, beef, and mature cheeses.
Grape Variety / Blend: macabeo, xarello, tinta de toro
Winery / Estate: Telmo Rodrìguez
This deep red wine from Castilla Y Leon (Spain) has notes of dark cherry, smoke and black tea. Unwooded, this wine is not heavy nor overly fruity but just right. Elegant and wonderful to drink with a roast leg or rack of lamb.

Winery
Telmo Rodriguez is one of Spain’s pioneer winemakers, advocating native grape varietals tied to the climates and conditions of their sites, and making world-class wines from undiscovered as well as known regions.
Telmo was among the first to make significant wines in Toro, Rueda, Valdeorras, Malaga, Alicante and Cigales. In these areas he uses native varietals, often grapes rediscovered such as Godello, Verdejo, Moscatel and Monastrell which do not have wide recognition. With other classically recognized varietals such Tempranillo, Garnacha and Carignan, he works with vines that are indigenous and reflect the character of their particular site. As a result, Telmo has been one of the leaders of the quality revolution with these varietals in up and coming areas such as Toro, as well as in the traditional areas of Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
