Gota de Arena 2018 is a wine that reflects the modern style of Castilla y León with its powerful character and freshness. This wine is made from old vineyards growing in sandy soils, contributing to its excellent concentration and freshness. The vinification includes a fermentation in stainless steel with temperature control, followed by a partial aging in barrels, adding complexity without masking the fruit's prominence. On the nose, it presents an intense and expressive profile, showing notes of ripe black fruits like blackberry and plum, as well as red fruits, spices, and hints of cocoa and licorice. On the palate, Gota de Arena is broad, tasty, and structured, with ripe tannins and an enveloping character. Its finish is medium-long, leaving memories of fruit, spices, and a light mineral touch. This wine is perfect for relatively early consumption, though it has the structure to evolve in the bottle for several years. Ideal for pairing with grilled meats, stews, cold cuts, or cheeses, where its intensity and fruity character can shine.
