2021 Tinto Crianza

100% Tempranillo. Selection of vineyards in Pedrosa de Duero, La Horra and Gumiel del Mercado with an average age of 35 years. Stony soils with a mixture of clay and limestone. Cold soaking for 3 days. Yeast inoculation, with fermentation in stainless-steel tanks at controlled temperature and frequent pumping over. Aged for 12 months in 300-litre French oak barrels. Tasted blind. Lots of ripe black fruit. Well-resolved oak, which accompanies but does not dominate. Elegant palate, with delicious creamy, caramelised notes and fully mellowed tannins. Nice touch of fresh plum on the finish. (FC)
