Beschreibung

Product description for Tentenublo Escondite del Ardacho, Las Guillermas 2019

Information about the wine

Las Guillermas comes from two neighboring plots, one planted with Tempranillo and the other with the white Viura. Together, the two vineyards cover an area of 0.62 hectares. The vines are each almost 70 years old and are located in Rioja Alavesa at an altitude of 400 meters. Tempranillo (60%) and Viura (40%) are harvested and fermented together. The wine then ages for 9 months in used wooden barrels.

Colour

Cherry red

Nose

The wine is super fresh, but lacks the harsh coolness of the other two plot wines from the Escondite del Ardacho range. The bouquet reveals red fruit and even apple (skin). The white Viura is quite evident here.

Palate

Las Guillermas 2019 is a red wine with the soul of a white wine. It has an incredibly refreshing acidity, typical of Viura from Rioja. The white wine grape, which makes up 40 percent of the blend, definitely leaves its mark on the wine. The wine has bite, fine tannins, a lean body, and a taut finish. The focus is clearly on freshness and crispness, rather than fullness and concentration. In a blind tasting, one would probably place this wine in Galicia. A magnificent and drinkable single-parcel wine. Not your usual Rioja.
