Description

Bodegas Proelio Puerto Rubio Tempranillo 2018

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Tempranillo from old vines in the Puerto Rubio vineyard in Rioja, Spain.

Soils on the slopes of calcareous gravels with degradative components and of sedimentary origin, on the surface and with the presence of the bedrock just one meter deep, highly degraded. These types of soils offer long-aged, fresh, volume and structured wines.

Taste Profile: Fresh, structured and complex, this wine is very aromatic, with intense aromas of wild black fruits, accompanied by deep balsamic aromas and licorice. A silky texture and mineral notes, it is round, powerful and polished on the palate with flavors of black fruits, prunes, balsamic and spice. A long and persistent finish.

Winemaking Process: Hand harvested & fermented with 40% whole clusters. The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation, and the caps are punched down. Malolactic fermentation is undergone in large oak vats, before ageing for 18 months in French oak barrels before blending & bottling
