The wine region of Tierra de León
DO of northern Castile-Leon (since 2019 DO Leon), continental plateau, sandy and stony soils. Signature Prieto Picudo as red king (~70% of vineyard): deep and colored with black cherry, blackberry, plum, violet, licorice and spice notes, vivid acidity and firm tannins — unique and atypical character. Supple, fruity Mencia in the north (cherry, raspberry, herbs). Native Albarin Blanco as taut white (green apple, citrus, flowers).
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: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
