Matchbook Description

With over 60 acres of tempranillo vines, Matchbook Wine Company is home to over 5% of California’s yield. And why shouldn’t it be? This Spanish varietal is right at home in the Dunnigan Hills.

Matchbook Vineyard’s soil is known as Corning Red Gravel, and it is precisely that: Red gravel that doesn’t hold much water. In this respect, the Dunnigan Hills aren’t so different from the chalky soils of Spain’s Ribera del Duero region, where some of the world’s best Tempranillo comes from. We like to use the Corning Red to our advantage with a bit of irrigation, helping to concentrate flavors and minimize the juice-to-skin ratio.

The winemaking process for our Tempranillo focuses on taming tannins during fermentation, then aging in oak barrels to further soften and smooth out the characters. A Matchbook favorite, this offbeat Spanish varietal is vital not only in our Tempranillo and Rosé of Tempranillo, but also our Tinto Rey signature red blend.
