Finca Valdelagua 2005

Enologist: Daniel Martin Cestero
 
D.O.C. Vinos de la Tierra de Castilla
 
Grapes: 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Shiraz, 20% Merlot

Ageing: Selection of the best clusters of grapes from our estate vineyards, harvested during the coolest part of the day. Fermentation at a controlled temperature 25-28ēC, maceration for 16 days and cask aged in new oak for 12 months. 

TASTING NOTES 
Bright, clear deep black-cherry colour with golden hues from its time in the cask. It has a highly complex nose with aromas of mint, roses and ripe fruit and finish wich is enveloped in smoky spicy nuances. On the plate it is elegant, full bodied and shows lots of flavour, leaving a pleasant, freh sensation as it pasess. It is a long wine wich bodes well for a good future evolution in the bottle.
 

Bodegas y Viņedos Casa del Valle Awards

Additional Information

Bodegas y Viņedos Casa del Valle entered the Castilla-La Mancha winemaking scene through the Bodegas Olarra Group. In this new winery, the Riojan group is working to get the classification of "Vino de Pago", or Terroir wine, inherited from the culture of the French Châteaux. Thus, in Bodegas y Viņedos Casa del Valle, tradition, technique and know-how are united in the aim of obtaining the best grapes and of guaranteeing the process of making exceptional wines from the outset.

The starting point for the creation of this new bodega in Castilla-La Mancha was the acquisition of the Finca Valdelagua estate in Yepes (Toledo) by the Bodegas Olarra Group. With their know-how, the most advanced technology and three decades of winemaking experience in Rioja, the wine group's technical experts started to implement this major project in 2000.

The bodega is surrounded by 100 hectares of new vineyards growing the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah varieties, chosen for their great suitability for ageing and their well-defined personality and character.
