Description
Viña Almate La Guindalera is a unique expression of Spanish viticulture, specifically from the region of Bocos de Duero in Valladolid. This wine, made from 100% Tinto fino, comes from a vineyard located at an altitude of 756 metres, where natural and logical viticulture is practised, free of chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides. The plants in this plot are not irrigated even at times of high water stress, which contributes to the authenticity and expression of the terroir in each bottle.
Winemaking
The vinification of Viña Almate La Guindalera begins with a manual harvest in the second week of October. The grapes are crushed but not destemmed, and vinified in stainless steel tanks with daily punch-downs. Maceration lasts 25 days with indigenous yeasts from the vineyard, without corrections or external contributions. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is transferred to 500-litre French oak barrels, where it is aged for 12 months. This ageing process gives the wine unique characteristics, allowing it to evolve favourably for at least 2 to 5 years.
Taste
Viña Almate La Guindalera is a testament to its careful winemaking and ageing. It is characterised by notes of coconut, prune, walnut, forest, and baked apple. After an hour of decanting, aromas of plum, cassis, raspberry, cherry and fig emerge, complemented by deep notes of varnish, graphite, ash, and sunflower seeds. The palate delights with a soft, medium body, lovely acidity and gritty, savoury tannins. The finish is complex, with hints of incense, leather, chocolate, tobacco, and baking spices.
With a limited production of 650 bottles, Viña Almate La Guindalera is a wine that encapsulates the essence of its terroir, offering a rich and complex sensory experience, ideal to accompany savoury meat dishes, salted meats and grilled seafood.
