Product Description
Details
Produced by the prestigious winemaker Mariano García, Aalto PS is made from a selection of the best Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes coming from 80 to 100 year-old vineyards located in the province of Burgos.
Hand-harvested and transported to the winery in very small boxes during hours of low light to prevent pre-fermentation, the grapes were put through another selection process at the winery before being destemmed. The grape musts from each vineyard were separately vinified prior to making the final blend.
The fermentation of this Spanish red wine from Aalto Bodegas y Viñedos was carried out at a controlled temperature. Then Aalto PS 2021 was drawn off and transferred into new French oak barrels, where it completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for a period of 21 months.
We emphatically suggest that you decant this Reserva red wine from Ribera del Duero a minimum of 2 hours before you drink it.
The winery recommends to consume the wine at least one year after its bottling. From the third year on, it will begin to develop the sort of complexity that has put this red wine from Ribera del Duero in the growing list of world-class red wines produced in Spain.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Aalto PS is deep purple with a reddish hue at the rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | Harmonious, well-balanced and really deep. Intense notes of toast, liquorice, and ripe fruit (blackberries, redcurrants and cherries), with nuanced lactic notes, and refreshing notes that are reminiscent of After Eight. The background of this Tinto Fino (a.k.a. Tempranillo) suggests some earthy notes of wet soil and balsamic hints. The aromatic richness is truly sensational. |
| Palate | Elegant, complex and authoritative, this wine from Bodegas Aalto has the flair and precision which defines the wines of top level winemaker Mariano García. The mouthfeel is silky, with pristine, wonderfully ripe black fruit, and countless nuances of spices, flowers, earth and mineral. Noble tannins, tremendous acidity and very long, compelling finish. |
| Our personal opinion | A majestic wine, Aalto PS 2021 is nonetheless still in its childhood. This is a jewel that truly deserves your patience. |

In awe...
A future world Champ. Spellbinding opulence and richness which needs a minimum of 8 years to show what it is capable of.

A pricy wine for sure, but I think it's worth the money. Furthermore, having drunk some older vintages I have to say that this ages exceptionally well.
