Amevive Carino Tempranillo/Graciano

Cariño is a coferment of the Pesquera Tempranillo and Graciano from the late 90’s plantings at Ibarra-Young. The Pesquera Tempranillo at Ibarra-Young is an own-rooted suitcase clone originating from Bodega Pesquera in Pesquera del Duero, Spain. I had never been inspired to make or seek Tempranillo until tending these vines for the last few years. These vines clearly want to be here! They grow easily and always win the beauty contest. Cariño translates to ‘darling’ in Spanish and speaks to the two varieties compliments to each other in bottle
