Los Rodales 2017
Description
Ce vin rouge, fait avec des cép ages Rufete et Aragonés, vient de vignobles situés dans la partie la plus haute de Miranda del Castañar, à Salamanque, plantés en 1930. Ces vignobles cohabitent avec d'autres replantés en 2004. C'est un vin d'intensité moyenne avec un boisé bien intégré, idéal pour découvrir des cépages minoritaires qui poussent dans les environs de la Sierra de Salamanca

L'avis des experts
The vineyard that names the 2017 Los Rodales was originally planted in 1930—then recovered and partly replanted in 2004—in the village of Miranda del Castañar with an equal-parts mixture of Rufete and the old local strain of Tempranillo known as Aragonés. Both varieties were harvested and vinified together. It matured in a used 500-liter French oak barrel, where it also finished fermentation. 2017 saw an early harvest, as it was a very dry and warm year. This is quite dominated by the Tempranillo, with a slightly reductive profile, so decanting it in advance would be a good idea. None of the wines show any influence from the wood in the élevage, as the wines tend to have a low pH and the oak is better integrated, or the wines extract less from the barrels. It has some grainy tannins and a medium-bodied mouthfeel. This is still marked by the Tempranillo. Only 650 bottles were produced in this first vintage.
Viñas Serranas est un petit projet personnel de César Ruiz de la Tintorería et Mandrágora Vinos de Pueblo, qui repose sur des vignes de la Sierra de Salamanque.
