Tasting Notes/Food Pairing Suggestions
Intense fruit character, with deep color and flavors of ripe black cherries and black raspberries. The wine finishes with captivating hints of cardamom and allspice. 12 months of aging in new French and American oak barrels adds an elegant smoky flavor. This is a distinctly Argentine Tempranillo—serious wine, but with a fun, easy-going edge to it. It will pair well with a wide variety of chicken, pork and lighter beef dishes.
About the Name/Label
mapema is a combination of the first two letters of the partner’s first names—Mariano seemed to think that he was more important, so his appear twice! The label displays three grape vines following harvest—vines that have done everything in their power to produce grapes that will go on to create a great wine. It is a feeling that the two winemaking partners share with each other and express in their wine.
