Details
Chafandín 2021
A varietal Tempranillo, the red wine Chafandín is sourced from a single vineyard planted with 40-year-old vines and located in Pesquera del Duero, in the heart of Ribera del Duero.
After a meticulous harvest, the grapes were gently crushed and the wine must was fermented for 12 days in stainless steel tanks.
Then this red wine from Ribera del Duero was macerated with the skins for over two weeks. After that, this Spanish red wine completed malolactic fermentation in 300-litre French oak barrels.
Then the red wine Chafandín 2021, produced by bodega Viñas del Jaro, was transferred into new and 2nd year French oak barrels and aged for 21 months
Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.
| Appearance | The red wine Chafandín is deep purple with a garnet rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Tempranillo suggests some intense, well-balanced aromas of cranberries and blueberries, alongside notes of fine wood and flowers, and some mineral undertones and hints of roasted coffee, cocoa and balsam. |
| Palate | This red wine from Bodegas del Jaro feels quite young and a bit impetuous, with plenty of room for growth. Rock-solid acidity, big structure and promising definition, with remembrances of wild berries, clean and pure, some mineral notions, and hints of undergrowth, spices and violets. Long, expansive finish. |
| Our personal opinion | An commendable effort, the red wine Chafandín 2021 will improve considerably over the next years. Pair with substantial meat dishes. |
