Tabuerniga
This powerful red wine from Navarre (Spain) is a blend of the Tempranillo, Graciano, Mazuelo, and Garnacha varietals. The nose shows aromas of pepper, brambles, violets, and wild red berries. The fine-grained tannins on the palate give it a formidable structure and are backed by succulent, mouthwatering acidity. The resulting wine is refined and beautiful with a long and lingering finish that expresses notes of ripe red cherries. Tabuerniga by Telmo Rodriguez pairs well with pork dishes, Spanish-style sausages, and other tapas.

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.
