WINE DESCRIPTION
Península Vinicultores Viñedos Viejos Vino de Montaña is an exceptional wine that showcases the unique terroir and winemaking philosophy of the Sierra de Gredos region, a mountainous area known for its old vineyards and distinctive microclimate. This wine is produced by Península Vinicultores, a group dedicated to crafting wines that reflect the character and diversity of Spain's lesser-known viticultural areas. Viñedos Viejos Vino de Montaña is made from old vines, some of which are over 60 years old, planted at high altitudes on granite soils. These conditions stress the vines, resulting in low yields of concentrated grapes that express the minerality and complexity of the terroir. The wine is predominantly made from Garnacha (Grenache), with meticulous attention to sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention winemaking. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is aged in a mix of oak barrels and concrete to preserve the purity of fruit and terroir expression.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Península Vinicultores Viñedos Viejos Vino de Montaña captivates with its translucent ruby color and a nose that bursts with aromatic intensity, featuring ripe red fruits like strawberries and cherries, complemented by floral notes of violet and lavender.The mountainous terroir imparts a distinct minerality and herbal undertones of thyme and rosemary. On the palate, the wine is remarkably fresh and balanced, with a medium body that carries the fruit flavors elegantly, enhanced by a lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish is long and nuanced, with a lingering taste of spice and a subtle earthiness
