Tempranillo

A dry red alcohol-removed Tempranillo — built from premium Spanish base wines grown at altitude, then gently dealcoholized to preserve structure, aromatic depth, and the length of a serious glass of red. Made by Duncan Shouler, Head Winemaker at Paragraph. Each wine is chosen through extensive tasting for aromatic intensity, precision, tannin quality, complexity, and structural depth — the traits that must survive alcohol removal intact.Old-vine parcels are folded in for natural intensity and structural integrity. Blending enhances harmony and aromatic depth. Without alcohol, balance has to be constructed differently — with greater precision, and greater intent. Alcohol is gently removed at low temperature using vacuum distillation — the most aroma-preserving method available today. An integrated aroma recovery system captures the wine's most delicate volatile compounds during the process and reintegrates them, so the wine retains its identity without any added ingredients. After dealcoholization, the wine rests in bottle for a minimum of two months. Texture and aromatics settle. The expression balances. Only then does it leave the cellar.

High aromatic intensity from the first pour. Dark berry fruit unfolds alongside vanilla and toasted oak, gradually evolving toward more complex leather and tobacco notes. Ripe fruit, oak influence, and tertiary nuances, supported by fine, polished tannins. A light-to-medium body that is dry and balanced, with precision and length on the palate. The close delivers clarity, definition, and persistence — remaining unmistakably vinous in character. Dry, savory, and composed. Alcohol removed. Wine intact.
