“Minerality and Singularity”100% Mazuelo.
1.564 bottles.
Manual grape harvest of each grape variety in small ten-kilogram tubs. Cooling in cold room until the temperature of the grapes goes down to 3 °C. Double selection of clusters and grains, with mild destemming and crushing. Individual vinification of grapes from El Castaño and Martinete. Gravity-fed into French oak vats with no pumping. Cold macerated and fermented for 18 days with native yeast strains. Gravity racked to new French oak barrels before malolactic fermentation.
14-month stay in new French oak barrels from different cooperages, with different toasting levels and origins, without racking and remaining over lees until bottled, with periodic bâtonnages during the first months. The wine is bottled without filtering or fining, so a small amount of natural precipitate may appear over time.
Our bottle is inspired in an original eighteenth-century bottle that is on exhibit at the Vivanco Museum of the Culture of Wine.
Deep purple, with a garnet-red rim inking the glass. Intense aromas of ripe black and red fruit (blackberries, raspberries), underbrush, fresh herbs and coffee, all of it enveloped by an earthy, mineral component. In the mouth, it is very fresh, fruity and balsamic, with soft tannins and a long, powerful, complex, persistent finish.
Stews, pulses, meat casseroles and all kinds of char-grilled meat.
If the 2020 vintage will go down in history due to the pandemic and the challenges it posed to humanity, 2021 will be remembered for “Filomena”, the last major winter storm on record in Spain. A historic snowfall between January 6th and 9th, 2021, hydrated the land like it had not been seen in years. Spring once again proved to be humid, especially in the Tudelilla area, with over 100 liters of rainfall from April to May. An unusual summer then followed, with a cool and dry July, further delaying the vineyard's cycle, and culminating in an ideal August for grape growing loaded of warm days and cool nights, resulting in a harvest date in October, almost reminiscent of another era. The fruit set of Mazuelo was low and irregular, resulting in lower yields per hectare but achieving greater concentration and maturity. Once again, a historic Mazuelo for its tremendous balance.
