Crafted at the Finca Constancia wineworks near Otero in the province of Toledo, a Media crianza pure varietal wine that's well suited to the Australian palate. Gourmet Traveler has distinguished Altozano with a string of rave reviews and a huge 94 point rating in a blind line up of Spanish and Aussie Tempranillos. A silky smooth table red with a taste of chocolate and dark cherries, a touch of spice. Friendly to food and highly approachable. Perfect balance is achieved after a spell of oak barrel, which has served to tame the lascivious fruit.
