This Tempranillo comes from vines grown at above 1,000m, specially selected for this cuvée. With vineyards around the towns of Manzanillo, Torre de Peñafiel and Fuentenebro, the producer is focused on expressing the character of each parcel and takes a lot of care in selecting only the best grapes in the vineyards, then a second selection in the winery. Fermented at low temperatures to maintain freshness, this polished wine then spends 12 months in 500L French and Hungarian oak. Beth Willard: Red berry fruit, very ripe and juicy. Some herbal notes on the nose and well integrated oak on the palate. Very elegant and somewhat restrained. Beautiful red fruits on the finish. David Williams: A touch of vanilla layered onto strawberry and mulberry both baked and fresh. Textured but ripe tannins build, keen acidity coming through to carry a long, savoury and fruit-filled finish. Vibrantly fruity. Diana Rollan: Rounded elegance of cedar wood, blackcurrant, vanilla, pepper and dark chocolate. Balanced, with refreshing acidity, subtle polished tannins and a round silky finish. Superb.
