QS2 Quinta Sardonia 2018

QS2 Quinta Sardonia 2018 is the estate’s expressive second wine, bringing together classic Bordeaux varieties with Tempranillo and Syrah from Castilla y León. Produced by Quinta Sardonia, a project associated with a modern, terroir-focused approach to Spanish red wine, it offers generous fruit, refined structure and a distinctly individual regional character.

Tasting Notes
Deep ruby to garnet in appearance, the 2018 vintage opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, blackcurrants and plums, complemented by hints of violets, sweet spices, graphite and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and layered, combining succulent dark fruit with well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity. Cabernet Franc and Tempranillo contribute aromatic lift and structure, while Merlot and Syrah add richness and warmth. Enjoy now after decanting, or cellar for several more years as the wine develops greater savoury complexity.

Production
The grapes come from Quinta Sardonia’s vineyards in Castilla y León, where the continental climate, strong diurnal variation and varied soils help produce deeply flavoured yet balanced red wines. The blend includes Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo and Syrah, combining international varieties with Spain’s signature red grape. The wine is made with a quality-focused approach designed to preserve the character of the estate and vintage while developing depth and polish through maturation.

Food & Serving
Serve slightly cool, around 16–18°C. QS2 is well suited to roasted lamb, grilled or braised beef, Iberian pork, game dishes and hearty stews, while its fruit and freshness also make it a good match for mature cheeses. Decant for approximately 30–60 minutes before serving, particularly when opening a bottle in its youth.
