Details
Nunca Jamás 2023
Made by bodega Javier San Pedro Ortega, a new, cutting-edge winery located in Laguardia, in the heart of La Rioja, the wine Nunca Jamás is a young varietal Tempranillo briefly aged in oak.
Sourced from low-yielding vines, the grapes were gently destemmed and transferred into 225-litre French oak barrels. Then this Spanish red wine was fermented for 14 days, with 4-5 daily punch-downs and pump-overs.
After that, the red wine Nunca Jamás 2023 completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 10 months in those same barrels.
This is a savoury Crianza red wine.
| Appearance | The red wine Nunca Jamás is deep ruby with some violet and bluish tinges. |
|---|---|
| Nose | This varietal Tempranillo is quite expressive. Blueberries and damson, underscored by dim notes of liquorice, tree bark, spcies and toast. |
| Palate | Bursting with life, this Rioja red wine by bodega Javier San Pedro Ortega has some round tannins and a lively acidity. Long and extremely pleasant, with a fruity and spicy aftertaste. |
| Our personal opinion | Joyful and fresh, the wine Nunca Jamás 2023 will pair excellently with BBQ'd meat and roast recipes. |
