The Terraesteban Author Red Wine is sourced from the D.O. Ribera del Duero, Spain, and is produced by Bodegas y Viñedos Anceña. This wine stands out as it is made solely from the Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) variety from grapes of 91-year-old vineyards, cultivated on optimal lands with a controlled yield of 2,500 Kg/Ha. The harvest is meticulously carried out, manually selecting the bunches in 10 kg boxes while carefully evaluating their ripeness and quality. The vinification process is carefully nuanced to prevent oxidation, starting with a minimum pre-fermentation maceration of 48 hours, followed by a controlled fermentation with indigenous yeasts at temperatures below 28ºC. The total maceration may last between 18 and 21 days, depending on the vintage's characteristics. During this process, short pump-overs, gentle movements, and manual bazuqueo are performed to achieve optimal extraction of color and aromas. The wine is then transferred to new barrels, where it spontaneously ferments and is aged for 16 to 18 months in American, French, and Central European Hungarian oak barrels. This careful production process enables the Terraesteban Author Red Wine to achieve elegance, complexity, and a distinctive character, making it a true jewel of viticulture. Let yourself be seduced by its powerful nose with notes of ripe black fruits and a mineral touch, as well as its broad and structured palate balancing alcohol, tannin, and acidity.
