- A sleek and graceful wine with wonderful balance, vibrancy and expressive notes of black fruits, liquorice, cardamon and minerality layered with hints of toffee and coffee through to a succulent finish.
The grapes were picked into 20-kg boxes and optically sorted before cold maceration, imparting the varietal aromas and vibrant colour. After blending fruit from three plots, El Espino, Fuentecojo and El Picón, 50% of the grapes underwent malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which helped to soften the palate. The remaining 50% was vinified in second-use French oak barrels, imparted subtle complexity. The wine was then aged in French oak barrels, of which 20% were new, for 12 months, with two manual rackings, followed by a further four months in a tank before bottling. Vinified in the modern Ribera del Duero style, it is contemporary and vibrant, showing elegance, refinement and balance.
It is a sleek and graceful wine with wonderful balance, vibrancy and expressive notes of black fruits, liquorice, cardamon and minerality layered with hints of toffee and coffee
through to a succulent finish.
