To enhance the perfumed aromatics, decant for about 30 minutes before serving at a cool 60 degrees and use a Burgundy stem. Enjoy now and in the next 10-15 years with hearty dishes like lamb-chops, any kind of steak and game food and as stated by Master Sommelier Ian Cauble: “celebrate getting in on the ground floor of one of Spain’s most exciting new wine ventures.”
Appearance: The wine displays an opaque garnet-red core with hints of light purple at the rim.
Nose: The nose is regal and highly perfumed, expressing the classic fruit profile of Tempranillo with its own unique finesse very reminiscent of fine Burgundy. Black forest fruits, plum, and blueberry dominate with hints of light accents of vanilla, cacao nibs and cedar playing a supporting, background role.
Palate: The palate broods with fresh plum and berry compote laced with high-toned red fruits. The wine has broad shoulders, but also soft edges with chalky tannins and a lively mineral acidity driving a long and supple finish.
“17” celebrates the year 2017, a very important year in the life of the winery due to the major events that took place then, including the commercial debut of their flagship wine, PINEA. “17” reflects the careful attention to detail in viticulture that characterizes the winery; by aging in American and French oak barrels for 18 months, the Tempranillo grapes express a sense of origin that is a worthy reflection of the Ribera del Duero. Spain has the terroir to offer the very best version of the Tempranillo grape, and this wine reflects the full potential of this variety. Our vineyards are located in the highest areas of the Ribera del Duero where the weather and altitude demand the best of the grapes. The personality of the Ribera del Duero and the passion of its craftsmen are reflected in every sip of “17”.
