2020 Tempranillo Red Wine – Ridge Vineyards Groove Shake

Discover the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation in Groove Wines’ 2020 Tempranillo-Mourvedre Red Blend from California’s Sierra Foothills. Crafted with precision in Amador County’s rugged terrain, this 81% Tempranillo and 19% Mourvedre fusion embodies the essence of bold craftsmanship. Sourced from organic vineyards nestled in the Sierra Foothills terroir, each grape is carefully cultivated to deliver a wine that balances power with elegance.

The meticulous winemaking process begins with 100% destemming to soften tannins, followed by co-fermentation in stainless steel tanks with twice-daily pumpovers to enhance fruit expression. Aged in neutral oak puncheons post-malolactic fermentation, this wine evolves from its initial reserved character into a symphony of dark fruit nuances and mineral complexity reminiscent of slate. At 13% alcohol by volume, it offers a refined balance perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or mushroom risotto.

As a certified organic wine producer, Groove Wines prioritizes sustainable practices that reflect their commitment to quality and environmental stewardship. Whether you’re savoring it at a sophisticated dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this Sierra Foothills red blend delivers a memorable tasting experience that distinguishes it among California’s premium reds.
