An organic wine made of Tinto Fino in the Ribera del Duero

We are looking for the expression of the fresh and kind fruit of the grape that came from a strict selection of vineyards between 15 to 30 years old. The elaboration pretends to extract the maximum aromatic potential of the grape while preserving a balanced and mild wine to be enjoyed in many occasions. For that, we employ a modern technique known as “cold soaking” which we have been improving time after time until achieving its maximum benefits: A good extraction of colour and aroma with a low input of tannins.

Tasting Note

Sight: Deep red-purple colour.
Nose: It has intense fruity aromas of red and black fruits.
Mouth: On the palate the wine is elegant with good acidity and a great balance. The fruity character is combined with a gentle touch of oak and a very fresh and clean finish.

I started salivating already with the nose of this wine – it’s slightly bloody, with cranberry and a slight toastiness. Super juicy strawberry fruit, with a smoky, earthy hint, gorgeous acidity and bright red berry fruit, topped off with sappy, soft tannins. Effortlessly balanced and elegant.This is how wonderful Tempranillo – or Tinto Fino to give it the regional name in Ribera del Duero – can be when it’s not dried out and oaked to death.
