Wine information

The grapes come from a 0.4 hectare single vineyard in Viñaspre in the Rioja Alavesa subzone. The plot is located at an altitude of 595 metres and consists mainly of limestone marl and sandstone soils. The vines, traditionally trained in bushes, are 52 to 112 years old. It is a classic blend of Tempranillo , Garnacha and other white wine varieties. The grapes are harvested together and 20 percent of them are fermented with the raisins. The wine is aged for 9 months in used 500-litre barrels.

Color

Cherry Red

Nose

Veriquete 2019 has a cool and extremely fresh nose, although the vintage was a warm one in Rioja. The complex bouquet consists of crisp red and dark fruit, herbs and an earthy minerality.

Palate

The wine shows an excellent balance of lively acidity and aromatic intensity. It has length, grip and fine-grained tannins. Wood is not noticeable at all, but the minerality is all the more so. It is indeed impressive how winemaker Roberto Oliván's emphasis on freshness and drinkability goes hand in hand with depth and complexity. This is a red wine in the typical Tentenublo style - elegant, precise, reduced to the essentials, terroir-influenced and full of character. There is nothing overripe or heavy about it, instead it always remains vibrant, aromatic and drinkable.
