Confesor
“Intense dark-cherry red with equally intense, very ripe fruit, black cherries, candied plums, stewed wild berries, and notes of coffee and chocolate on the nose. Powerful, ample and fleshy on the palate, with robust yet amiable tannins, savoury toasty notes, smooth roast coffee and a long, complex finish. Pair with a wide range of dishes such as cured cheeses, red meat, game, oxtail and baked turbot. It matches especially well with traditional Riojan stews made with white beans from Torrecilla or red beans from Anguiano”.
A blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano, Mazuelo and Garnacha.
A single-vineyard wine from our 2.5 hectare pago, El Vallejuelo, at 695m. altitude on clay slopes. The vines are over 70 years old and their yield is less than a kilo per vine.
The grapes are picked manually in 10 kg. boxes and hand-selected on a sorting table in order to use only perfect grapes. Alcoholic fermentation takes place over 10 days in Allier oak vats and the wine is left to macerate for 14 days with the skins. Fermentation temperature is kept at between 28 °C and 30 °C, and malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels over 40 days. The wine is aged in 100% French Allier oak barrels for 15 months, followed by 9 months’ ageing in the bottle
