The wine region of Castille
Cradle of great Castilian reds, high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) along the Duero. Tempranillo king (aka Tinta de Toro, Tinto Fino): powerful, concentrated, structured reds with notes of black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco and spice, firm tannins from altitude and cool nights. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (floral, mineral Mencía). Lively, herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda.
The word of the wine: Presses
The juice that results from pressing the grapes after fermentation. At the end of the maceration, the vats are emptied, the first juice obtained is called the free-run wine and the marc remaining at the bottom of the vat is then pressed to give the press wine. We say more quickly "the presses". Their quality varies according to the vintage and the maceration. A too vigorous extraction releases the tannins of pips and the wine of press can then prove to be very astringent. Often the winemaker raises it separately, deciding later whether or not to incorporate it totally or partially into the grand vin.
