Tasting note
Modern-style Rioja, with lots of red cherries, a touch of balsamic-covered fruit adding texture and a scent like a mountain breeze: herbs and a touch of liquorice.
Viticulture
Señorío de San Vicente started in 1985 with the revival of near-extinct variety, Tempranillo Peludo. A small 18-hectare vineyard called “La Canoca” was planted with this grape, and in 1992 the first vintage was produced. The wine was exquisite, and the now ubiquitous “business card” label ensured San Vicente’s place as an innovator of this style and concept.
Vinification
Grapes are 100% de-stemmed by hand. Temperature controlled fermentation takes place over 10 days with two daily pump-overs at 28 - 30º C. Autochthonous yeast selected from their own vineyards are used. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel, where the wine ages for 20 months. Barrels are 90% French oak and 10% American.
Food Match
Roasted lamb, beef, partridge, rabbit, black pudding. Moroccan dishes with spices, jamon, peppers, barbecues, Manchego cheese.
