El Velado 2023 is among the most exclusive wines by Telmo Rodríguez, crafted in the prestigious Rioja region. This wine comes from a historic vineyard in Lanciego, known for its warm exposure and balanced ripening. The 80-year-old vines combine Garnacha and Tempranillo along with other traditional varieties, contributing to great complexity. The vinification is done with indigenous yeasts in wooden vats, and the 15-month aging takes place in French oak fudres. This preserves the authentic expression of the vineyard, achieving a wine of great elegance and freshness. On the nose, it displays aromas of raspberry, wild cherry, and red currant, complemented by notes of white pepper, cocoa, and minerals. On the palate, it’s silky with fine tannins and notable depth. El Velado 2023 is a terroir wine with limited production, ideal for aging, valuing the vineyard's finesse and identity over power.
