Each parcel was fermented separately to monitor vineyard expression. The Cabernets were given lengthy macerations to ensure complete extraction of the perfectly ripe fruit, but the Merlot was given even longer post fermentation maceration to encourage complete polymerization of complex tannins and add a broad, juicy and silky texture to the blend. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrel for eight months before assessment and assemblage. The wine is aged for 21 months in 70 percent new French Nevers oak, 30 percent second fill Nevers and Alliers barrels. Deep in colour with a purple hue. Aromas of red plums, some floral notes, cedar and sweet spice. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, structured with rounded, linear tannins and wonderful notes of fresh blackcurrant and dark berry fruit, spice and leather.

Castillo La Paz Old Vines Tempranillo 2017 Wine 75 cl (Case of 3)
Joe Fattorini’s Tasting Note: “Think of the things that make for great wines – classic varieties, old vines, historic regions, oak ageing… and then imagine them for about six quid. That’s this wine. Mature, complex strawberry and spice aromas and flavours, wonderful with a mid-week paella dotted with chorizo. Or a rich chicken casserole or pie. Mid-weight, ripe and delicious.”
Grown in Don Quixote’s homeland, the old vines from Castillo La Paz thrive in red-brown sandy clay, rich in limestone and chalk.
The clean and dry atmosphere creates optimum growing conditions for these ancient vines to produce wine of deep colour with concentrated aromas of rich berries and lifted soft strawberry characters on the palate.SKU: n/a -
