Rufete Fine Wine

Rufete Fine Wine

Rufete is the Pearl of the Sierra de Salamanca. It’s a native variety and the predominant variety in the area. It is highly-adapted to the area, with small, crowded bunches and medium-sized, thin-skinned berries. The variety is subtle, complicated in the cellar, with delicate aromas hinting of red fruit and spices. Sweet, smooth tannins result in elegant and complex wines.
