El Velado
A sublime blend of Garnacha and Tempranillo, this red wine comes from Navarre (Spain). There are delicious aromas of red and black fruits, delicate notes of pure violets, and subtle hints of spice. The palate is juicy, fresh, and compact. A medium-bodied, ultra-refined, and very linear wine with fine tannins and balanced acidity that leads into a lingering and persistent finish. El Velado from Telmo Rodriguez is wonderful with veal, pork, and beef.

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.
