Quercus 2019 is the flagship wine of Quinta de Quercus, a project linked to Bodegas Fontana in the Uclés Denomination of Origin. This wine stands out by being made exclusively from Tempranillo grapes from old vines, located at an altitude of about 800 meters. The grapes come from carefully selected plots, such as Viña Ocaña and Camino Las Morras, grown on calcareous and stony soils, which impart tension and mineral character to the wine. The harvest is done manually, allowing for careful selection of the fruit to ensure low yields and high flavor concentration. The fermentation of the wine takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, and the wine ages for 15 to 20 months in French oak barrels. This process seeks to integrate complexity and finesse without overshadowing the expression of the terroir. On the nose, Quercus 2019 presents elegant intensity, with aromas of blackberry, black plum, and stewed fruit, complemented by notes of rosemary, thyme, cocoa, pepper, clove, and fine toasting from aging. On the palate, it is structured, broad, and balanced, with mature tannins and a silky texture that make it stand out for its mineral and gastronomic profile. With a long, spicy, and persistent finish, it is an ideal wine to pair with lamb, red meats, game, mountain rice dishes, Castilian cuisine, or aged cheeses. Its good aging capacity makes it an excellent choice for wine lovers.
