Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The showy 2020 Malpuesto, from the zone of the same name in Villabuena de Álava, comes in a huge Burgundy bottle, but the wine feels more proportioned than ever, with much better integrated oak and contained ripeness and extraction. It has 14.63% alcohol and good freshness and balance, juicy, round and with a vibrant mouthfeel that finishes with some spicy oak notes that should integrate over the next couple of years. The élevage was shortened to 12 months in barrel. 6,876 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in July 2020.

Features

Description

Malpuesto is an exclusive wine produced by Bodegas Orben, called the boutique winery of the Artevino Group in La Rioja. This wine has been elaborated by a tempranillo variety coming from a low yielding vineyard with vines planted in 1931 and its irregular layout gives origin to the name of this magnificent wine.

Winemaking

The grapes are harvested by hand in 15 kg crates and sorted on sorting tables. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks and malolactic fermentation in new barrels with manual punching down throughout the process.
Ageing takes place in new fine-grain French oak barrels for 15 months.

Taste

Malpuesto is a red wine with a fruity expression. Its tannins are sweet and well-distributed, giving it a complex and ample character. The finish is persistent, with a marked mineral profile (earthy) and a long spicy aftertaste.

An original wine from a unique vineyard

Malpuesto is only produced when the quality of the grapes allows it to maintain its high quality. In other words, it is a limited production red wine, the king of the house. The attention to detail results in a product of superior quality, with a complex and very pleasant character.
In the gastronomic field, it is the perfect accompaniment for red meats, small game, stews, cured cheeses, lamb stews, lamb and roasts in general.
What are you waiting for to try it? You'll love it!
