This is the wine that put Bodega Tesalia on the map, and it’s the one I pour when someone tells me Andalucía can’t make a fine red. The 2019 was named best wine of Andalucía at the Premios T del Vino, and every vintage I’ve tasted since has had that same quiet confidence.
Tesalia is the estate’s flagship, made from the best of their twelve plots at the foot of the Sierra de Grazalema near Arcos de la Frontera. The vines grow in poor clay and limestone, with plenty of sunshine but cooling air from both the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, which is what keeps the wine so fresh. It brings together the estate’s four grapes, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and the local Tintilla de Rota, all hand-picked, vinified separately and then aged in French oak.
In the glass it’s a deep purple. The nose is full of blackberry and blackcurrant, with herbs, spice, toasty oak and a lovely hint of incense. The palate is generous and juicy, with the fruit and oak in good balance, lively acidity and a long, dark-fruited finish with a slightly bitter, savoury twist.
A wine for a special dinner: roast leg of lamb, venison, beef Wellington or a good aged Manchego. Open it an hour ahead if you can.
