Viñas del Vero Red Lights

Fruity wine with a hint of vanilla from aging in the wooden barrel. This makes it smooth and extra tasty. Perfect with meals or just in the evening on the couch. Color, taste: red, smooth Grape variety: syrah, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon Country, region: Spain, Somontano Good with: Pasta, Vegetarian Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 8+ This is the red wine of the Luces trio, a fairly new line from Viñas del Vero in the Spanish Somontano. Besides this red, we also have a white wine and a rosé in the range. You can easily recognize the Luces wines by the fresh label, which immediately gives you a cheerful feeling. That is their purpose: wine for a pleasant moment, with or without something simple to eat alongside. This red is smooth with fresh aromas of juicy summer fruits like currant and cherry, a touch of pennyroyal, and a hint of vanilla in the aftertaste. The vanilla comes from the American oak barrel in which the wine rested for a few months to make it rounder and softer. The winemaker himself prefers to drink it slightly cool, at 14 to 16°C. Delicious with tapas and various dishes from quick cooking.
