Wine specsWinemaking
The grapes were harvested by hand at the optimum moment, in the oldest plots, and passed through a manual selection table to guarantee maximum quality. The alcoholic fermentation lasted 7 to 9 days at a temperature between 26 and 28ºC after a cold pre-fermentation maceration of 3 to 5 days. After a 24-day post-fermentation maceration, the free-run wine was bled and the pressing was separated. A subsequent resting on fine lees ensured greater complexity. The malolactic fermentation took place for 3 to 6 weeks.
Harvest details
The 2015 harvest was officially classified as Excellent by Ribera del Duero’s governing body. This wine will age very well in bottle.
Wine specsTasting notes
This is a wine of rare elegance. The primary fruit aromas have evolved into a bouquet typical of mature Tempranillo, redolent of violets. The years have tamed the tannins, giving this wine a smooth mouthfeel and a finish that echoes the stony gravel of its plot in the vineyard that surrounds the winery.
Food pairings
This wine is a perfect complement to traditional Spanish cuisine, such as slow-roasted suckling lamb, paella and the finest mature cheeses such as manchego.
