The wine region of Arlanza
High-altitude DO in Old Castile (Burgos, Palencia), Arlanza Valley, vineyards at 750–1,000 m on clay-limestone soils, harsh continental climate providing natural freshness and acidity. Tempranillo (Tinta del País) is the signature red: structured and cool with black cherry, plum, leather, tobacco, herbs and pepper, firm tannins and altitude-preserved acidity. Garnacha rounds out the reds; floral Albillo in whites. Neighbour to Ribera del Duero.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
