Description

Product description for Victoria Ordóñez Zetian, Vino de la Tierra de Castilla 2020 (bio)

Sebastian Bordthäuser: The 2020 Zetian Tempranillo Old Vines from Victoria Ordóñez oscillates between punk and pop. Even on the palate, it has a spicy side, lending it a certain touch of history, accompanied by tailor-made, contemporary beats. Fruit meets spice with youthful, polished tannins and a fresh interplay of acidity. Well chilled, it creates Mediterranean Spanish vibes at home. Zetian is the first brand that Victoria Ordóñez secured before her steep-slope projects. It is the name of the first Chinese empress, once a concubine of the deceased emperor. Female rulers were not permitted at that time, but she was nevertheless enthroned and was very popular with the people. The wine comes from old vines in the Montes de Toldeo and was originally produced only for the American market. The 2020 Zetian is available on the European market for the first time with this vintage.

Colour

Dark ruby red with a black core and violet reflections.

Nose

This Zetian, made from ancient Tempranillo vines from Tierra de Castilla, makes no concessions to modern wine tastes. Rather, its nose is reminiscent of old-style Tempranillo, which is becoming increasingly rare these days. Instead of chocolate cherry, there’s a hint of barley to start with, followed by Indian vadouvan and freshly tanned leather. Only then does the clear cherry fruit reveal itself, given profound depth by mulberries.

Palate

The 2020 Zetian Tempranillo Old Vines from Victoria Ordóñez oscillates between punk and pop. Even on the first sip, it has a spicy side, lending it a certain touch of history, accompanied by tailor-made, contemporary beats. Fruit meets spice with youthful, polished tannins and a fresh acidity. Served well chilled, it creates Mediterranean Spanish vibes at your home barbecue.
