Lar de María -- Tempranillo

Lar de Maía is a family winery producing quality wines in a traditional way, taking care of each part of the process carefully to get the best results. Coming from the wine industry herself, owner / winemaker Maria Burgoa’s journey began in 2010 with a desire to start afresh in the world of wine. She called her project “Lar”, meaning “home”, and “Maía”, the goddess of spring whose name is also given to the month of May, a special time of the year because it is when they bottled their first vintage ever. This bottle comes with a fun tag around the neck of the bottle that you can use for your own tasting notes, and to gain some more info about the wine. Same thing on the label, a tongue in cheek checklist for your own personal notes about the wine.
