Details
Fuentespina Reserva 2021
A superb value, this Spanish red wine is produced by Avelino Vegas Bodegas from old vines aged over 70 years.
A varietal Tempranillo, the wine Fuentespina Reserva comes from Ribera del Duero. After a meticulous harvest, the grapes were destemmed, delicately crushed and cold-macerated for 3 days in stainless steel tanks.
Then this reserva red wine was fermented with selected yeasts and macerated with the skins for another 10 days.
The malolactic fermentation of this red wine from Ribera del Duero was carried out in French and American oak barrels. After that, the wine was aged for 16 months in the barrels.
Finally, the wine Fuentespina Reserva 2021 was bottled and aged for a further 2 years in the cellar before its commercial release.
Aerate 30 minutes before drinking.
