Recensioni degli esperti
Lots of racy red plums, cherries and berries with a floral touch on the nose. Beautiful interplay between chalky tannins and fruit. Very firm and structured but poised and precise. This is tempranillo from three vineyards, El Olivo, Cuesta Rubial and Carraquintana. Drink now or hold.
The 2023 Paraje Los Colmenares wants to capture the environment, not only the soil or grapes, and is composed of Tinto Fino only. It comes from three young-ish plots (planted in 1992 and 2010) in a valley called Valle de los Colmenares that is full of trees and aromatic plants of flowers, a place with a tradition of beehives and located at 856 to 889 meters in altitude. This shows a little more ripeness (I'm taking about perception, not really the 13.8% alcohol), but the profile is quite similar to the village wine; it has purity and elegance and is juicy, velvety, seamless and very pleasant, with a faint bitter twist in the finish. All the wines are fermented in the same way, by plot and with indigenous yeasts, and aged in oak containers of different shapes and sizes. 26,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in December 2024. - Luis Gutiérrez.
One of a pair of new wines from Rodrigo and Asier Calvo, who have now taken over the winemaking at Bodegas Arrocal from their parents, this hails from three distinct parcels in Gumiel de Mercado, totalling 5.54 hectares. Very much a mountain wine, it has garrigue aromas of thyme and oregano, appealing freshness and precision, savoury tannins and a core of plum, redcurrant and black cherry fruit. 2027-35
Un descubrimiento de bodega, y este vino en particular merece ser probado.
