Red Wine Mauro VS 2017
Availability: In stock
Produced by Mariano García, the excellent Mauro VS from Castilla y León is a varietal Tempranillo made from vines planted in two estates, Traspinedo and El Rosal, both located near Tudela de Duero.
Harvested in the second week of September, the grapes were selected on site and on arriving at the cellar. Then this Spanish red wine from Bodegas Mauro was fermented and macerated with indigenous yeasts, separating the grapes according to its plot of origin.
After that, this organic red wine from Castilla y León was aged in new and used French and American oak barrels for 26 months.
Bottled in February 2020, if properly stored Mauro VS 2017 will improve in your home cellar for quite a few years.

---|---|
Nose | Deeply mineral, intriguing, ever-evolving, this Crianza red wine carries deep aromas of red fruit, with hints of cocoa, Havanna cigars, pepper, moka... This varietal Tempranillo also smells of underbrush and balsam, enlivened by a splash of liquorice. |
Palate | Imposing and powerful at first, the palate of VS of Bodegas Mauro soon dispels any suspicion of being overblown. There is elegance and intrincacy here, though this wine of Mariano García certainly needs time to show it. Succulent fruit, in harmony with wood, with hints of aromatic herbs, and a mineral tip. The wine has a lively acidity, some yummy tannins and an exceptionally long finish. |
Our personal opinion | Deep, age-worthy and intense Mauro VS 2017 is a magnificent organic red wine. |
