2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine: A Celebratory Beginning
The 2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine is the first release in our esteemed Marian Series, crafted to honor the revered Our Lady of Guadalupe. This wine holds a deep personal significance for Trinitas Cellars, as both our founder, Steaph Busch, and our General Manager, Sonyia Grabski, share a birthday on December 12, the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This release is more than just a wine—it is a celebration of faith, heritage, and personal milestones.
Tasting Experience:
This rich and inviting red wine envelops the palate with lush flavors of ripe berries, dark plum, and subtle hints of earth and spice. Layers of blackberry, cassis, and cocoa intertwine with nuances of cedar and clove, creating a beautifully balanced and structured profile. Fine tannins and a smooth, lingering finish make this wine a divine expression of both depth and elegance.
Spring Pairing Suggestions:
This wine’s balanced structure and vibrant fruit make it a wonderful companion for spring gatherings and seasonal dishes. Enjoy it alongside grilled lamb chops with rosemary, herb-crusted pork tenderloin, or a wild mushroom risotto, where its deep fruit flavors enhance the savory notes of each dish. The wine’s smooth tannins and spice-driven complexity also complement grilled eggplant with balsamic glaze, roasted beet and goat cheese salad, or a spring charcuterie board featuring aged cheeses and fresh berries. Whether you're enjoying a sunny afternoon garden party or a cozy spring evening by the fire, the 2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine offers a perfect balance of richness and refreshment.
