The tannins are firm but well-integrated, giving the wine a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. The finish is long and satisfying, with a pleasant hint of spice.

On the palate, the wine is well-structured and balanced, with firm tannins and a long finish. The fruit flavors of blackberry and cherry are complemented by notes of dark chocolate, to***co, and leather, making for a complex and satisfying taste experience.

Overall, the 2017 Venta La Ossa red wine is a well-crafted and enjoyable wine that showcases the best qualities of the Tempranillo grape.

Olivina Announcement
When I set out in 2016 and opened Olivina, I had the goal to bring the most fresh olive oil and balsamic vinegar to Delaware and add something special and unique to Historic Downtown's food scene. We were welcomed with open arms, and curious taste buds, and grew quickly into adoring this community.
Over the last few years we persevered through a number of significant challenges, from a pandemic to a major flood to power outages and staffing challenges. We’ve rebuilt our store (literally) a number of times over during this time. We also re-imagined our business two years ago and brought a café vibe to the south block, offering cocktails, wine, delicious dishes from Chef Michael and a relaxed experience to try and boost sales and drive traffic to our place. It’s been hard, challenging, but we kept pushing.
My wife and I reflected over this past Easter on what goals we have and what’s most important - with family needing more, kids heading to college, life ticking by, and a few health needs, we came to the realization that this is an important time in our lives not to miss. Therefore, have made the hard decision to close Olivina at the end of April.
We can’t thank you, our customers, enough for your support throughout these past 7 years, we’ve made SO many friends and amazing connections along the way. You will always be cherished in our hearts for giving us a chance, even though we weren’t perfect each time, and that’s what makes the community the best. I also greatly thank Chef Michael and our GM Stephanie for their years of service to Olivina, I couldn’t have achieved what we accomplished without your hard work and passion for the business. You guys rock.
We will continue to sell our estate olive oil and balsamic locally in Delaware starting in May and for a period of time after through online sales and shipping too. We will have more details about this arrangement in the coming days, as well as modified hours for the remainder of this month.
Though this is goodbye, I will never forget this experience and the great memories that I will cherish for years to come. Thank you again for your support over the years, it means the world.
Chris & Catherine
