Bodegas y Viñedos Anceña presents us with the Vino Tinto Terraesteban Author from the D.O. Ribera del Duero (Spain), made from various varieties of 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes.
The Vino Tinto Terraesteban Author is an exceptional wine whose grapes come from 91-year-old vineyards, cultivated in a goblet system with a limited yield of 2,500 Kg/Ha. These vineyards are located in clayey soils with gravel, on a well-oriented slope that provides ideal conditions for the vine's development.
The wine is made exclusively with the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) variety. The harvest is carried out meticulously, selecting the clusters manually in 10 kg boxes, evaluating the phenolic maturity and quality of the cluster. They are harvested early to avoid sun exposure and maintain the optimal quality of the grape. Once in the winery, the grapes are received on a vibrating selection table to ensure their integrity.
The production is done with extreme care, filling the tanks in less than an hour to avoid oxidation. After a minimum pre-fermentative maceration of 48 hours, fermentation takes place with controlled native yeasts at temperatures below 28ºC. The total maceration lasts between 18 and 21 days, depending on the vintage and organoleptic analysis.
During vinification, short and gentle pump-overs are carried out 4 to 6 times a day, along with vigorous manual punch-downs for optimal extraction of color and aromas. The wine is transferred to new barrels where it undergoes spontaneous malolactic fermentation at 22ºC. It then ages for 16 to 18 months in intense toasted American oak barrels, French oak selection, and Hungarian Central European oak.
Terraesteban Author is a wine that reflects the excellence of its origin, with remarkable complexity and structure. Its careful aging and time in barrels give it elegance and character, making it a true gem of viticulture.
