El Patio de Valdemonjas – Valdemonjas’ Orchestra 2021

Weinbeschreibung für El Patio de Valdemonjas – Valdemonjas’ Orchestra 2021 von Valdemonjas

Colour & appearance

Deep purple-red colour with violet reflections that indicate the youth of this concentrated Tempranillo. The colour intensity is impressive and promises substance.

Nose

Precise and focussed, the bouquet presents itself with dark blackberries and Elderberries. A mineral, earthy undertone lends depth and complexity to the flavour profile. The balance between freshness and maturity is exemplary.

Palate

A textbook Ribera del Duero: powerfully structured with ripe, velvety tannins that give the wine backbone without being aggressive. The dark fruit flavours continue on the palate, supported by a vibrant acidity that creates tension. The cool, almost ascetic elegance is remarkable - this wine follows the Bauhaus principle: reduced to the essentials, straightforward and without superfluous ornamentation.

General information

Certified organic Tempranillo from vineyards located 750 metres above sea level on calcareous soils. Vinification takes place exclusively in concrete tanks without the addition of sulphur - a bold approach that emphasises the purity of the fruit and the terroir.

Food pairing suggestions

The strong tannin structure demands appropriate partners: Surf and Turf harmonises perfectly with the intensity of the wine, while Jamón Ibérico Bellota emphasises the mineral notes. Generally, strong meat dishes or a generous decanting are recommended for a solo performance.

Special features

This Valdemonjas differs favourably from the often over-extracted Ribera wines due to its restrained elegance. The sulphur-free vinification and the altitude of the vineyards give it a refreshing coolness that is rarely found in this region. An authentic expression of terroir and craftsmanship.
