Ariyanas Tinto | Malaga, Spain
A blend of Merlot (65%), Tempranillo (25%) and Romé (10%)
The wine is aged for 8 months in French oak barrels and bottled unfiltered.
Like the winery name Bentomiz, which comes from the ancient castle on the mountain top opposite, Ariyanas is a place name – that of a Moorish hamlet that was next to the vineyard before the Reconquest. The word comes from the Arabic for “aromatic”, which is appropriate since Bentomiz’s wines are definitely aromatic.
