Bodegas Y Viñedos Robeal La Capilla Crianza Red 2018 Ribera del Duero
Description
Vinification
Slow full-grain alcoholic fermentation in small stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeast. Prolonged maceration, but without over-extraction. Malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels. All processes are by gravity carried out with the utmost care. The principal fruity aromas are maintained whilst endeavouring to preserve the great depth of colour, typical of the area.
Wine aging
Between 1,5 and 2 years before release date from the winery.
Vintage details
A year of abundant rainfall especially during the winter and spring months, providing excellent water reserves that ensured a favourable vegetative cycle in the midst of a hot, dry summer.
Tasting notes
Deep-coloured, glossy and velvety wine. Intense aromas, with hints of fruity freshness entwined with well integrated oak that combines with, but never masks the richness of the Tinta del País variety of the Ribera del Duero. It’s fresh, vivacious and elegantly complex on the palate, with creamy nuances and fine toasted notes. Dense, smooth, enveloping polymerised tannins. Subtle and refined. Perfectly balanced to drink now and with the capacity to age in bottle for several years.
