Serafiel is a full-bodied wine with good structure. The tannins are very soft, supple, and complex. It is fruity and spicy wine showing the qualities of both the Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Syrah that make up its blend. Aromas are reminiscent of blackcurrant, black cherry, blueberry and plum with secondary notes of caramel and vanilla from the aging in French & American oak barrels.
Cuisine: Serafiel pairs well with braised red meats, grilled salmon, spice seared tuna, and light cheeses.
In 1997 Tru (originally from the Netherlands) and Donald Miller bought the lands that would become Adobe Guadalupe. In 1998 they plant 20 hectares of vineyards where they grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Tempranillo, Merlot, Nebbiolo, Viognier, Syrah, Cinsault, Malbec, Mourvèdre and Grenache. The vines were first harvested for vinification in the 2001 with a total production of around 500 cases. That has grown to an annual production of approximately 9,000 cases.
