Details
Pago de los Capellanes El Nogal 2020
A varietal Tempranillo, the wine Pago de los Capellanes El Nogal is a high-end Spanish red wine made by bodega Pago de los Capellanes.
The grapes are sourced solely from Finca El Nogal, a 6-hectare parcel planted with a massal selection of vines from Finca El Picón, the flagship red wine of the winery.
Finca El Nogal has clay-limestone soils, a feature which brings a particular finesse and a refined minerality to the wine. Moreover, yields are quite low.
Harvested by hand, the grapes were refrigerated, macerated for 6 days and then fermented in new French oak vats with indigenous yeasts.
After that, the wine Pago de los Capellanes El Nogal 2020 from Ribera del Duero completed malolactic fermentation and was aged for 27 months in fine grain French oak barrels.
This top-notch red wine from Ribera del Duero was not filtered, clarified or stabilized before its bottling in March 2023.
Decant this Reserva red wine at least 1 hour before drinking.
21,376 bottles produced.
