Details
This is the 2021 vintage of the wine Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de las Liebres, one of Ribera del Duero's most exclusive Spanish red wines.
A varietal Tinto Fino, this single vineyard red wine is made from grapevines planted at an altitude of 850 metres on the Cuesta de las Liebres parcel, an exceptional 3,19 ha vineyard with limestone-rich soils planted in 1994.
Harvested by hand, after being selected on site and in the cellar the grapes were destemmed and slightly crushed before fermentation, which took place in little oak vats.
After that, this Reserva red wine from bodega Pago de Carraovejas was aged for 24 months in new fine-grained French oak barrels. After being clarified with egg whites, it was bottled in the spring of 2024.
Finally, the red wine Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de las Liebres 2021 was aged for a minimum of 24 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
This high-end red wine from Ribera del Duero is only produced in exceptional vintages, as attested by the Grandes Añadas stamp on the label.
Decant at least 1 hour before drinking.

|---|---|
| Nose | Deep and showing real finesse, this varietal Tinto Fino suggests amazingly pure aromas of red fruit, fine leather, balsam, Havanna cigars and dry fruit, underpinned by some intringuing earthy and mineral remembrances, hints of flowers and a note of bitter cocoa and underbrush. Impressively refined. |
| Palate | Clean, focused and enticingly warm, with caressing tannins, a crisp, precise adidity and bright, flinty mineral energy. This wine from Pago de Carraovejas is immensely long and suggestive, with an aftertaste of ripe fruit, toast and balsam. |
| Our personal opinion | Already a legend, the wine Pago de Carraovejas Cuesta de las Liebres 2021 should be enjoyed at least once in a lifetime by every serious aficionado, |
