VITICULTURE:

The grapes used to make this Ontañón gran reserva come from two of our most iconic vineyards. La Pasada, a vineyard planted over thirty years ago on the extreme edge of the Sierra de Yerga (800 metres) growing area, provides the tempranillo.

VARIETIES: 85% Tempranillo y 15% Graciano.

AGEING: 36 months in American- and French-oak casks. New barrels or used for the second harvest.

TASTING NOTES:

Colour: Great depth of colour, very Deep, bright and clean with a ruby red hue and brick red glints around the rim denoting its long ageing. Reddish glints also appear which show its ageing and evolution.

Aroma: On the nose it reveals sweet tertiary aromas with good rounding in the bottle. You can find marked dark fruit with notes of cocoa and tobacco. It excels thanks to its enormous complexity, with mineral and balsamic sensations. Black fruit and spicy aromas.

Taste: The complexity of this wine means that its bouquet evolves inside the glass opening up with the passing of time. It is very rounded on the palate with very smooth, juicy tannins and very lively acidity from the fruit which is perfectly integrated by the ageing process. A long, lingering finish. It is recommended that this wine is decanted.

Alcohol: 14 %

AGING POTENTIAL:

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