Description

Ce délicieux rouge est élaboré par un producteur à partir de plusieurs parcelles de la commune de Gumiel de Mercado, dont certaines bénéficient de la classification VMC (Vignoble Municipal Classé). Avec une production limitée à 180 000 bouteilles, il exprime pleinement la saveur, les arômes et le charme de la Ribera del Duero. Bien qu’il puisse être dégusté dès maintenant, une attente de deux à trois ans révélera un profil plus doux et des nuances aromatiques particulièrement séduisantes.

L'avis des experts

The Wine Advocate:

The 2023 Gumiel del Mercado Village was produced exclusively with grapes from the family vineyards in their village, all now certified organic (as of 2023), from different soils and places, looking into balancing the fruit, freshness and structure through the blend. It's mostly Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) and around 5% each Garnacha and Albillo Mayor. The grapes were harvested early, each plot fermented separately with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured for 12 months in oak containers of different sizes and shapes—barrels, foudres and vats. It's fruit-driven and has notes of fresh berries, flowers and herbs, with the oak perfectly integrated, really taking me to the character of the wines from before the era of excess. It's juicy, medium-bodied, balanced and elegant, not terribly complex but very pleasant and approachable, with great purity. The parameters are 13.5% alcohol, a pH of 3.6 and 5.2 grams of acidity. Great value for money too. They produced a notable volume of this wine: 148,000 bottles! It was bottled in January 2025. - Luis Gutiérrez. 

James Suckling:

This is fragrant with blueberries, dark cherries, underbrush and dried herbs. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with refined chalky tannins and a thread of elegant and vibrant fruit. Garnacha and albillo mayor. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. - Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas, Senior Editor
