Description
Marqués de Cáceres Selección Especial Ribera del Duero Crianza 2020 is an exclusive, limited production wine that comes from the ambitious project of the Forner family in Ribera del Duero, where in 2019 they acquired the prestigious Finca La Capilla, located in Roa, near the most coveted vineyards of La Horra and Anguix.
Made with 100% Tinta del País (Tempranillo) grapes from selected plots of the 60 hectares of the estate, with very low yields on a mosaic of poor soils with limestone veins that provide minerality and structure. The 2020 vintage, rated asExcellent in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, allowed a slow and balanced maturation that translates into a complex nose and an elegant mouth.
The production is artisanal: manual harvesting, fermentation with native yeasts and aging for 18 months in new, single-use French oak barrels, a treatment usually reserved for very high-end wines. The result is a deep, elegant wine with a riverside soul that demonstrates the mastery of Marqués de Cáceres outside his native Rioja.
Cherry red in color with garnet tones and a good layer. The nose shows good intensity and complexity, with aromas of ripe red fruit, spicy, smoky notes and a pleasant background of aromatic herbs. In the mouth it is balanced, friendly and tasty, with good fruity, fresh character and fine tannins.
Ideal for veal cheek in red wine, roast suckling lamb, grilled red meats, game and aged cheeses. Service temperature: 15-17°C.
