Pago de los Capellanes “Un Sueños en las Alturas”
Winery: Pago de los Capellanes
Region: Ribera del Duero
Red Wine
Variety: 100% Tempranillo
Soil:
Clay soils with loamy textures, enriched by siliceous rocks, gneiss, and quartz, provide a fresh, mineral expression.
Production:
After the vinification of the selected grapes, it is followed by cold maceration. Then it undergoes fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for a year in French oak foudres, with occasional lees stirring, ensuring stability without fining agents
Aging: 12 months.
Technical data: Alcoholic grade: 13% Vol
Tasting Notes:
“Savory hints of ground coffee, smoke and iron underscore black cherry coulis, anise, plum sauce and tea leaf notes. This graceful, well-spiced red seamlessly integrates fine but powerful tannins before lasting on the finish. Appealing now but should shine with some time in the cellar.” - Alison Najpus, Wine Spectator.
