The 2022 Gran Cerdo Tempranillo is a vibrant Spanish red showing ripe blackberry, red cherry and plum alongside violet, dried herbs, subtle spice and gentle earthy notes. The wine offers generous fruit and a savoury edge, with Tempranillo’s natural freshness helping to keep the profile balanced and approachable. Fine herbal and mineral nuances add extra detail to the aromatic character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied and lively, with bright acidity, supple tannins and layers of red and dark fruit. Blackberry and cherry are complemented by ripe plum, dried herbs, subtle pepper and gentle earthy spice, creating a rounded and expressive mid-palate. The tannins are smooth and approachable, while a fine mineral character adds freshness and length. The finish is dry, balanced and persistent, leaving lingering dark fruit, savoury herbs and subtle spice.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Tempranillo drinkers who enjoy approachable Spanish reds with generous fruit, fresh acidity and savoury character. It is easy to enjoy now but has enough structure to develop further complexity over the short term. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Pair with chorizo and white bean stew, lamb skewers with smoked paprika, roast pork with red peppers, beef empanadas, or grilled eggplant with tomato and herbs.
