Atlántida 100% Tintilla Red Wine from Rota, Cádiz 75cl

Atlántida red wine is a unique expression of Cádiz viticulture, made by Compañía de Vinos del Atlántico with the native and almost extinct grape variety, Tintilla de Rota. This wine stands out for its uniqueness and its Atlantic character, which comes from vineyards planted on albariza soils, very close to the sea, in the Pago de Balbaína.

Main Features

• Type of wine: Crianza red wine.

• Denomination of Origin: V.T. (Vino de la Tierra) de Cádiz.

• Grape: 100% Tintilla de Rota.

• Winemaking: Harvesting is done manually and at night to preserve the freshness of the grapes. Fermentation is carried out in oak vats, with a percentage of the grapes with stems, which gives it a particular character.

• Aging: The wine is aged in French oak barrels (often of different capacities) for an extended period, which can be from 16 to 28 months depending on the vintage. This aging gives it complexity, structure and a good integration of the wood.

• Color: Intense ruby red or dark cherry color, with purplish glints.

Tasting Notes

• Nose (Aroma): A very aromatic and complex wine. Notes of ripe red and black fruits (blackberry, strawberry, blueberry) predominate, with spicy and floral nuances (violets) and a mineral and saline background very characteristic of the terroir.

• Mouth (Flavor): Elegant and structured. Despite its body, it feels fresh and vibrant. The tannins are silky and well polished. On the palate, ripe fruit flavors mingle with hints of licorice, sweet spice and a long, lingering finish with a saline memory.

Pairing

Atlántida Tintilla de Rota is a versatile wine that pairs well with a variety of dishes, especially those with intense flavors. It is ideal for:

• Meats: Grilled red meats, lamb, suckling pig and game stews.

• Stews: Hearty spoon dishes.

• Cheeses: Cured and semi-cured cheeses.

Service Temperature

To fully enjoy its complexity and elegance, we recommend serving it between 16°C and 18°C (61°F and 64°F). The wine can be decanted about 30 minutes before serving to allow it to aerate and better express its aromas.
