VITICULTURE

The grapes for this vintage of Reserva come from two of our most prized parcels; La Pasada, a vineyard planted to Tempranillo, more than thirty years ago in the Sierra de Yerga mountain range, 800 meters elevation, The El Pozo vineyard is situated between two peaks in the Sierra Yerga range, 650 meters elevation.

VARIETIES: 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano

AGEING: 24 months in both American and French oak barrels and 24 months in bottle after bottling.

TASTING NOTES

Colour: It shows great depth of colour with a brilliant, nuanced ruby red hue with a slightly irridescent charácter on the edges that indicates a long ageing potential.

Aroma: The wine displays an explosive nose with mixed berry fruit, as well as dried apricots with minerality and a slightly truffled nose that is indicative of the terroir in which the grapes grow. It shows a touch of a balsamic note, which comes from the small percentage of Graciano that makes up the blend. Additionally, notes of tobacco, cloves, a touch of smoked pepper, vanilla and cocoa powder come from the light toast of the French oak used for ageing.

Taste: A generous wine with great balance and an unctuous texture that begs us to continue tasting again and again. The tannins are fleshy, subtle and yet still extremely present and well integrated. The wine shows incredible complexity and elegance exposing notes of ripe fruit and a touch of integrated oak of the highest quality. Decanting recommended.

Alcohol: 14 %

AGING POTENTIAL:

If stored in optimal conditions (12-14 degrees celcius) at 60% humidity and without shifts in temperature, it will continue to age for many years to come.
