A GRAND CRU IN ANDALUSIA

From the planting of the vineyards, the selection of varieties, the perfectionism in the winemaking and aging processes in Thessaly, everything has been done to create wines of exceptional quality and style that showed concentration, elegance, complexity, balance, length and nobility as they aged. Ready for immediate consumption but will grow over the next ten years.

Bodega Tesalia, known as “Jewel of the South”, is a passion project by British father and enologist trained daughter, Richard Golding and Natalia, who lived in Spain for decades and fell in love with the extended virgin land at the foothills of the Grazalema range very close to the historic village of Arcos de la Frontera in Cádiz, Andalucia, South of Spain. For centuries, Arcos was a strategic city coveted for its privileged location. Its name dates back to Roman times when it was founded as Arx-Arcis (the fortress in height).

The Tesalia Estate comprises 106 hectares of land, 11 ha of under vines on north-facing slopes, with pruning structures designed to promote aeration and shade on these clay and limestone soils.

The climate is warm and sunny, tempered by the Mediterranean and Atlantic influences of the Sierra de Grazalema. With an average temperature of 17.3ºc, the rain falls mainly in winter, between 600 and 700 mm. These special characteristics create ideal ripening conditions for varieties such as Petit Verdot and the indigenous Tintilla de Rota.

Tasting Notes:

Colour Intense, lively, deep red cherry colour.

Nose Clean and intense, with hints of red fruit, red liquorice and a balsamic finish that adds freshness.

Palate Good entry on the palate, where in addition to the fresh fruit, more complex notes appear, giving volume. Blackberry, plum, wild herbs, toasted bread and a bitter touch that gives depth.
