Note di degustazione
Like the 2023 newly released, the 2022 blends estate Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. The grapes go through a triple selection to find the best quality, and the time spent shows in the refinement of the wine. From a hot year, it retains freshness due to exemplary management of the vines and canopy, with harvest happening earlier than normal. A depth of red fruit travels along a medium to full-bodied palate of supple, integrated tannin and oak spice. This is a beautiful wine that displays the ripeness of the year. Age 10-15 years.

The 2022 Pago de Carraovejas wants to be the expression of the valley that names the wine. It was produced with 93% Tempranillo, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot in a very warm and dry and challenging year when the wine achieved a whopping 15.5% alcohol after spending 12 months in 226- and 600-liter French and American oak barrels. It's dark, aromatic and heady, juicy and a little decadent, with ripe flavors and fine tannins, clearly reflecting the conditions of the year. 700,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in the spring of 2024.
The 2022 Pago de Carraovejas blends Tempranillo with 4% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot. In recent vintages, the contributions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have gradually decreased to emphasize Tempranillo. The wine was aged for one year in oak barrels. It displays precise fruit expression, delicate violet hint and subtle herbal touch. Juicy, structured and dense without excessive tannin tightness, this is a well-crafted Ribera offering depth and tension.
