Convento San Francisco La Zapatera 2018 is a unique wine from Bodega Convento San Francisco. Originating from a historical vineyard in Fuentenebro, Ribera del Duero, this plot wine comes from just 2 hectares planted between 1920 and 1940. A blend of varieties such as Tempranillo and Albillo Mayor, it stands out for its authenticity and the reflection of the region's landscape. Carefully crafted, La Zapatera undergoes 26 days of fermentation and maceration, followed by 22 months of aging in new French oak barrels. This process adds great complexity, structure, and elegance, while maintaining the vineyard's identity. The production is limited to 2,779 bottles and 50 Magnums, highlighting its exclusivity within the winery. On the nose, it presents intense aromas of ripe dark fruits, blackberries, violets, aromatic herbs, sweet spices, and toasted notes, alongside a mineral undertone. On the palate, it is deep, silky, and balanced, with fine tannins and excellent freshness. Its finish is long and persistent, with hints of dark fruit, licorice, and spices, demonstrating exceptional aging potential. Perfect to accompany roasted lamb, red meats, game, mushrooms, and aged cheeses.
