Carrasviñas Dorado
Beschrijving
Bodegas Félix Lorenzo Cachazo maakt deze gouden wijn volgens de traditie van Rueda: de wijn wordt in glazen damajuanas buiten in de open lucht blootgesteld aan grote temperatuurschommelingen. Het resultaat is een bijzondere, super aromatische wijn met hints van oxidatieve rijping en een lange, omhullende smaak met een vleugje glycerol

Meningen van critici
Ángela Lorenzo has crafted an elegant yet seductively rich Dorado wine from 65% Verdejo and 35% Palomino. Oxidative aging in demijohns for two years, and then in barrel for a further 24 months, has resulted in a wine layered with honeycomb, fresh hazelnut and fig. The palate is lively with bright lemon notes and fierce acidity, even offering something more akin to mango and dried citrus peel. A wine with lots of personality and a tradition to hold onto! 2025-35
Even though they told me the bottle of the NV Carrasviñas Dorado I tasted was the February 2025 bottling, there is nothing on the front or back label to make it identifiable as such, other than an obscure and difficult-to-read lot code printed over some writing. I just don't understand why they don't print this information clearly readable and make it possible for people to know what wine they are drinking and decide if they want a fresh bottle or one with more time in the bottle. Anyway, I'll keep insisting, because I think it's worth it to see how the creamy and nutty golden wine matures in bottle. It's a blend of 65% Verdejo and 35% Palomino with 15% alcohol; it was picked ripe and never fortified and has a pH of 3.2 and six grams of acidity. It aged in glass demijohn in an oxidative way, and it also had a short biological phase with flor, making it akin to a young-ish Amontillado. The wine is polished by two years in used 300-liter barrels. 2,000 bottles in this lot. (Luis Gutiérrez)
A Rueda Dorado that shows hints of almond to the sour dough, nori and yellow apples. Rich and dry with a sleek mid-palate and lots of yeasty flavors and apples. Drink now.
Complejo y potente. Singular y muy recomendable para los amantes de los vinos generosos. Gran trabajo
