San Vicente 2016 is a red wine from the Qualified Designation of Origin (DOCa) Rioja, produced by the prestigious winery Señorío de San Vicente, part of the Eguren family. This wine is distinguished by its composition, as it is made from 100% of a very special variety: the Tempranillo Peludo, a natural mutation of Tempranillo grown exclusively in the vineyards of San Vicente de la Sonsierra in Rioja Alta. This variety gives the wine a very unique structure and character, elevating its profile among the wines of the region. The production begins with a manual harvest and careful selection of the grapes, which are fermented in small tanks. The wine is then transferred to new French oak barrels, where it ages for about 20 months before refining in the bottle, giving it greater complexity and balance. On the palate, it presents an intense and elegant aroma, with notes of ripe black fruit, floral hints, and subtle nuances of cocoa, spices, and toasted notes. It is broad and silky on the palate, with fine tannins and good freshness, finishing with a long and persistent aftertaste. It is a Rioja with great personality and excellent aging capability, making it an ideal accompaniment for red meats, game, and traditional cuisine.
