Vina Mariposa Tinto

This delicious wine is a modern take on a dry red, combining the classic Spanish red varieties of Garnacha (60%) and Tempranillo (40%) creating a bright, fruity modern wine with a smooth finish. This is the perfect easy wine for everyone to enjoy.

Bodegas Milenium was founded in the 1960s by Manule Vazquez who set up this winery in the beautiful Galician countryside in north-western Spain. The new, state-of-the-art winery is very different from its humble origins but Manuel’s philosophy of what makes good wine – work, love and common sense – is still very much in evidence of the delicious wine that is produced.

Flavours

Tasting notes: The combination of Spanish varieties Garnacha (60%) and Tempranillo (40%) Spanish varieties gives the wine a succulent fruit flavour of ripe red cherry fruit and hints of blackberry mingle on the nose, with soft, smooth red berry fruit on the palate. 

Ideal food pairings:  This red pairs perfectly with classic family dishes such as a pasta dish or a shepherd’s pie, making it a definite crowd-pleaser. 

Serving

Serving temperature:  Vina Mariposa is best served just below room temperature, between 13 to 14°C, it is a medium-bodied wine so this temperature creates a greater mouthfeel and helps to balance the acidity.

Glass Style: Opt for a large rounded bowl with this wine, this allows the glass to seize the delicious aromas of the wine.
