The concept is to produce a blended wine. The best grapes are selected from vineyards with different soils, exposures and altitudes from La Aguilera, Pesquera, Roa and Piñel de Arriba, along with the grapes from our vineyards at Finca la Revilla. Via balance, a wine is constructed without rough edges, well designed, which conveys the idea of the most standard Valtravieso wine year after year. It is aged in barrel for 14 months, with 85% French oak and the rest in American oak
Visual Phase
intense and dark cherry color with garnet edge. Clean and bright with some violet reflections Nose
On the nose it is complex, creating a subtle play between ripe fruit and spices. The nuances are slowly revealed of good wood barrels, without masking the wine's true taste, yet providing that touch of seriousness and elegance of a wine with this profile Palate
The mouth is lovely and I just love its concentrated fruit texture, which is so juicy, like blended fruit. Fresh and long, with nuances of wood that will keep infusing the wine as time passes. Personally I think this vintage will make people talk, as it becomes increasingly more solid and well established. A great success. Cellar & Apellation
