- Korde Tinto is a wine that takes the essence of the KORDE range to its ultimate consequences: atypicality and the breaking of paradigms.
- The magic of the process is that if you take risks and go down new paths, you never know what the end result will be. A wine always starts from an idea but at the same time it is a living being that evolves and dialogues until it finds its own history. KORDE Tinto started with a trip to the French Burgundy and developed with a leap of faith… What we got was something so special, you have to try it to understand it. And yet, it will still surprise you.
- KORDE Tinto is a light, low extraction red wine, distinguished by its freshness and intense aromas of red and citrus fruits. Its vibrant acidity and extremely delicate tannic texture complete a unique sensory experience.
- This wine comes from one of our oldest vineyards, where we find a co-plantation of different red and white varieties that are harmoniously integrated in its production.
- Fermented and aged for two winters in a single French oak barrel of various uses, its production is limited to 788 bottles.

The origin
KORDE Tinto comes from one of our oldest vines, whose vineyard register dates back to 1945, although it could be even older.
This plot, called “La Isa”, is very special and is located in an elevated moorland area, next to some almond trees, where there is a clay-limestone vein. In this vineyard there is a coplantation of different white and red varieties, among which Tinta Fina or Tempranillo predominates.
Vine-growing and harvest
To make KORDE Tinto, we harvested the grapes earlier than for our other reds, seeking a balanced ripening point between the different varieties that make up the plot. In this way, we highlight the freshness and acidity of this diverse and deeply-rooted expression of the Old World.
Wine-making and aging
Fermentation is carried out in a small press, using 50% whole grapes, some of which are crushed during vatting. During this process, the cap is soaked once a day to limit extraction, and devatting is carried out before fermentation is complete. Subsequently, malolactic fermentation takes place in a single 500-litre multi-purpose French oak barrel.
Recommended consumption
The wine is ready to be enjoyed as soon as you have it in your hands, but spending 2 years in the bottle will do it good if you want to drink it at its best.
We recommend serving the wine at 15º.
Pairing | KORDE Tinto
«We will find the best pairing for KORDE Tinto in light and fresh dishes. A white fish ceviche, for example, beautifully complements the citrus nuances of the wine, while grilled chicken dishes with a red fruit reduction accentuate its elegance and delicate tannic texture. For a more sophisticated experience, I suggest pairing with duck magret or foie gras, which balance the acidity and enhance the fruit aromas. Fresh goat cheeses also offer a perfect combination. This pairing will allow KORDE Tinto to display all its complexity and subtlety, offering an unparalleled gastronomic experience.»
