2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine: A Celebratory Fall Offering
The 2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine marks the inaugural release in our cherished Marian Series, created to honor the beloved Our Lady of Guadalupe. This wine holds special significance for Trinitas Cellars, as both our founder, Steaph Busch, and our General Manager, Sonyia Grabski, were born on December 12—the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. More than just a wine, this release is a heartfelt celebration of faith, heritage, and the joyful milestones that unite us, now shared through the warmth and spirit of fall.
Tasting Notes
Lush and expressive, this red blend opens with generous aromas of ripe berries, dark plum, and a whisper of earth and warm spice. On the palate, layers of blackberry, cassis, and cocoa meld with notes of cedar, clove, and toasted oak. A well-structured frame of fine tannins supports the rich fruit, leading to a smooth, lingering finish that’s as comforting as a crisp autumn evening.
Fall Pairing Suggestions
Ideal for harvest celebrations and fireside dinners, the 2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine pairs beautifully with braised lamb shanks, roasted pork tenderloin, or mushroom and caramelized onion flatbreads. Its fruit-forward profile and spice notes also enhance vegetarian dishes like butternut squash risotto, roasted beet salad with goat cheese, or a hearty farro and root vegetable bowl. For a festive, crowd-pleasing pairing, serve it with a rustic autumn charcuterie spread featuring aged cheeses, dried fruits, and spiced nuts.
Whether you’re raising a glass at a harvest feast, a fall gathering, or a quiet evening by the fire, this wine offers an elegant expression of autumn’s richness and the timeless joy of shared celebration.
