Product Description
Details
Made from estate-owned Tempranillo vineyards over 60 years of age, the wine Tinto Figuero 15 Meses is produced by Bodegas y Viñedos García Figuero.
Manually harvested and carefully transported to the cellar, the grapes were first put into stainless steel tanks and cold-soaked for a period of 2 days.
After going through a spontaneous fermentation, this Spanish red wine was left in contact with its lees for 17 days to increase its creaminess and roundness.
After that, this Reserva red wine from Ribera del Duero underwent malolactic fermentation and was aged for 15 months in new 60% French and 40% American oak barrels.
Finally, Tinto Figuero 15 Meses 2018 was clarified with egg whites and aged for a further 21 months in the bottle before its commercial release.
We suggest that you decant this red wine from Ribera del Duero at least 1 hour before you drink it.
Additional Information
Additional Information
| Appearance | The red wine Tinto Figuero 15 Meses is medium purple with a reddish rim. |
|---|---|
| Nose | A bit reduced at the beginning, as this varietal Tempranillo opens it shows a great complexity, with notes of ripe black fruit, sweet spices and a dash of white pepper. Later, we perceive aromas of cocoa, liquorice, graphite, charcoal, balsam, menthol and resin, as well as some mineral undertones and notions of wet earth. |
| Palate | Bold and complex, this reserva red wine of Bodegas y Viñedos García Figuero has depth, character and potential for improvement. Pure suggestions of black fruit, spices, earth and balsam. Nuanced and powerful, with great tension, a fresh acidity and slightly untamed tannins that will mellow within a few years. Long, persistent, mineral finish. |
| Our personal opinion | The old-vines Tempranillo Tinto Figuero 15 meses 2018 is complex, age-worthy and elegant. Perfect to accompany a substantial meal, but also great as a meditation wine. |
