Details
Figuero Tinus 2017
The flagship product of Bodegas y Viñedos García Figuero, Figuero Tinus is one of the scarcest and most sought-after wines from Ribera del Duero.
This single vineyard Spanish red wine is sourced from over 70-year-old Tempranillo vines planted in one of the best terroirs in the region.
The harvest and vinification of this red wine from Ribera del Duero were extremely meticulous.
Picked by hand, exactingly selected and brought to the cellar in small boxes, the grapes were first fermented in 500-litre oak vats.
After that, the malolactic fermentation Figuero Tinus 2017 was carried out in fine grain new French oak barrels, in which the wine was also aged for 24 months.
Finally, this Reserva red wine was bottled and aged for a further 12 months before hitting the market.
4,050 bottles produced.
Decant at least 1 hour before drinking.
