A glimpse into the soul of Spain — Count de Lina Dry Red Wine embodies tradition, terroir, and timeless elegance.
Through the Breezes of Rioja – The Spanish Soul in a Bottle
Bathed in golden Iberian sunlight, the vineyards of northern Spain stretch across rolling hills like ancient tapestries woven with vines. Here, where the air carries whispers of centuries-old winemaking wisdom, Count de Lina is born—not merely fermented, but nurtured. Though rooted in the famed Rioja region’s legacy, this wine draws its strength from the deeper, bolder expressions of Spain’s Ribera del Duero, where limestone soils and dramatic temperature swings coax intensity and grace from every grape cluster.
Count de Lina stands at the crossroads of nobility and nature—a tribute to Spain’s aristocratic wine traditions reimagined through modern precision. Each bottle reflects a heritage of meticulous care, where family cellars meet state-of-the-art temperature control, ensuring every vintage sings with authenticity. It’s not just wine; it’s liquid storytelling, poured from generations of passion.

The Taste of Twilight Forests – Decoding the Flavor Profile
Bring the glass to your lips and inhale—dark fruit unfolds like a secret shared at dusk: ripe blackberries, plump purple plums, and a hint of wild fig. The first sip reveals a velvety texture, rich yet balanced, coating the palate without overwhelming it. This is a dry red that dances between power and poise.
As the wine lingers, subtler notes emerge—vanilla kissed by French oak, a whisper of clove, and the gentle smokiness of aged American barrels, like evening wind brushing against charred wood. It's complex, yes, but never intimidating. Whether you're exploring red wines for the first time or sipping alongside a seasoned collection, Count de Lina welcomes all with open arms—and an open bottle.
Its brilliance lies in restraint: alcohol warmth is present but never sharp, tannins are structured yet supple, and acidity keeps each flavor vibrant, making it as refreshing as it is profound.
The deep ruby hue glows like embers — a promise of depth and harmony in every pour.
The Bottle’s Whisper: Winemaking Secrets from Ribera del Duero
At the heart of Count de Lina is a masterful blend—primarily Tempranillo, Spain’s noble grape, known for its structure and earthy charm, harmonized with Cabernet Sauvignon for added depth and dark fruit concentration. Together, they form a symphony of balance: one grape grounds the wine in tradition, the other elevates it with international flair.
After hand-harvesting at peak ripeness, the grapes undergo controlled fermentation to preserve freshness before aging for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. This careful maturation softens edges, adds nuance, and allows the wine to evolve slowly—because, as the winemakers say, “time is the most essential ingredient.”
The result? A wine recognized not only for consistency but also character—awarded accolades across European tastings and praised by sommeliers for its authenticity and drinkability. Yet, rather than boasting, Count de Lina lets the liquid speak for itself.

When Glass Meets Plate – A Symphony of Pairings
Count de Lina doesn’t just accompany a meal—it elevates it. Start with something simple yet luxurious: thin slices of jamón ibérico draped over warm bread, accented with Manzanilla olives. The saltiness cuts beautifully through the wine’s fruit, awakening every taste bud.
For the main course, imagine a slow-braised beef short rib, falling apart at the touch, bathed in a reduction of red wine and thyme. Here, Count de Lina doesn’t compete—it resonates, mirroring the dish’s richness while lifting its herbal tones with elegant spice.
And why stop at savory? Try it with a warm chocolate lava cake—yes, really. The contrast of bitter cocoa and silky red fruit creates a moment of delightful surprise. As one delighted customer put it, “It even makes my Friday night pizza delivery feel like a Michelin-starred affair.”
Perfect for intimate dinners, joyful gatherings, or thoughtful gifting, this is a wine that adapts to the moment—whether you’re celebrating love, friendship, or simply another beautiful Tuesday.
An evening well-paired — where wine, food, and company create lasting memories.
To Drink Now or To Keep? A Gentle Nudge from the Future
Today, Count de Lina is in its prime—its flavors fully integrated, its tannins rounded, ready to deliver joy with every pour. But great wines often hold secrets beyond the present. With proper storage, this bottle can gracefully age another 3 to 5 years, gaining tertiary notes of leather, tobacco, and dried herbs—evolving like a well-loved novel reread with new understanding.
So uncork one tonight, to toast the now. But tuck away a bottle or two—not out of greed, but gratitude. Because someday, opening one years later will be like receiving a letter from your past self, sealed with wax and wonder: *“Remember how good life tasted back then?”*
Store some for tomorrow — because the best moments are worth revisiting.
