Cillar de Silos Ribera del Duero la Vina de Amalio 2018 750ml

It is a tribute to the founder of the winery: Amalio Aragón. It reflects the essence of what are single plot wines. It is the expression of a vineyard with its particular characteristics. It has the greatness of imperfection. Each vintage has the same spirit, but is different.

Garnet cherry colour and covered. It is a long-lasting wine, where the enormous fruit impression that is perceived as soon as it is close to the nose stands out. Aromas of wild red and black fruit, cherry blossoms, sweet spices such as nutmeg, wet earth, light toasted notes… It is intense, seductive and complex, with great finesse.

Varietal

Tempranillo

There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
