Marqués de Vargas Hacienda Pradolagar 2005 Reserva Especial Red Estate Wine

Bodegas y Viñedos Marqués de Vargas DOC Rioja (Alta)

In a wood case

40% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, 10% Garnacha Tinta and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon from average 38 year old vines from their 3 hectare La Victoria Estate, harvested October 2005 in 15 kg boxes. After fermentation in stainless steel vats of 3,000 kg at 31deg.C for 12 days, remontage and pumping occurred daily for another 20 days with grapeskins. Once racking and malolactic fermentation were completed, ageing began in January 2006 in 30 new Russian and French oak Haute Futaie (Seguin Moreau), racked twice every 5 months, and then every 6 months. Total ageing: 22 months. Bottled January 2008 without clarification or filtration and released June 2010. Deep, intense black cherry colour with violet rim. Very complex spicy, blackberry nose with hints of leather and toasted cigar box. Structured, gamey, earthy notes combine with compact berry fruit, strong backbone and elegant tannins make this wine ready for drinking now but also with great potential for improvement in bottle. Cork - Natural Extraflow. 14% Vol. Production available 9,000 bottles of 75cl.

We are also able to offer the 1999 and 2000 vintages.
