2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine: A Celebratory Summer 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 lens of summer’s warmth and spirit.
Tasting Experience
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 midsummer evening breeze.
Summer Pairing Suggestions
Ideal for outdoor celebrations and sunlit dinners, the 2015 Our Lady of Guadalupe Red Wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb chops, marinated pork tenderloin, or fire-roasted mushroom flatbreads. Its fruit-forward profile and spice notes enhance vegetarian dishes like charred eggplant with balsamic glaze, roasted beet salad with goat cheese, or a summer grain bowl with lentils and grilled vegetables. For a festive, crowd-pleasing pairing, serve it with a rustic charcuterie spread featuring aged cheeses, fresh berries, and spiced nuts.
Whether you’re raising a glass at a backyard gathering, a summer soirée, or a quiet twilight dinner, this wine offers an elegant expression of summer’s richness and the timeless joy of shared celebration.
