Iceni is the new wine from Bodega Tesalia, a blend in equal proportions of Tintilla de Rota and Syrah, briefly aged in French oak for 5 months. A wine displaying fruitiness, freshness, and youth, a different approach to the other wines of the Bodega, fully based on the concept of minimal intervention in order to preserve the maximum fruitiness and typicity of the varietal.

Tasting Notes:

Fresh and clean, fruity, rounded, and straightforward, expressive displays cherry and red berry fruits combined with aromas of rosemary, lavender, and wildflowers. Savory and soft on the palate, with good fruit concentration.

THE WINERY 

Bodega Tesalia is a relatively young project started in 2008 by father and daughter, Richard Golding and Natalia, after falling in love with this beautiful part of southern Spain and the extended virgin land at the foothills of the Grazalema range very close to the historic village of Arcos de la Frontera in Cádiz. Here, they saw the enormous potential to put into practice their ideas and their passion and make reality their project, the "Tesalia Estate" which comprises of 106 hectares of land, of which 11 ha are under vines on north-facing slopes, planted with the varieties Tintilla de Rota, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah, ideal varieties for this poor and unfertile terroir composed of clay and limestone soils.
