From the Winery

Coral Mustang's mission is unique - producing only Tempranillo wines from select vineyards. This noble grape varietal from Spain produces world-class wine, suitable with a wide variety of food pairings. We are making single vineyard designated Tempranillo as barrel-aged and Rosé wines.

With the rising popularity of Tempranillo and the ever increasing plantings here in California, we search out the best vineyards and are dedicated to producing the highest quality wine that expresses those vineyards and locations.

Tasting Notes

The beautiful color of this Tempranillo Rosé is complimented with aromas of rose, lime and red raspberry. Slight creaminess balanced by acidity makes this the perfect warm weather and winter holiday wine. The lingering finish is fresh with citrus and berries.

Food recommendations:
The perfect wine to go with a picnic of roasted chicken or with summertime grilling of fish (especially salmon) and chicken. This versatile wine can go from your St. Patrick's day corned beef to a Memorial day picnic, to Thanksgiving turkey and ham.

Raspberries? Check! Lime? Double-check! This is a dry, tarty little thang -- but not too tart. It will definitely pair with a lot of food, and at $13.99, this is a wonderful value. Looking to expand your horizons? I bet you've never tried a Tempranillo Rosé!
