Viña Cubillo Crianza 2017
Beschrijving
Viña Cubillo komt van een landgoed genaamd Viña Cubillas, dat net als de rest van de wijngaarden van het huis is gekocht door de overgrootvader van de familie López de Heredia. Dit landgoed levert geweldige wijnen die elk jaar als crianza's worden verkocht, maar door de topkwaliteit van de bodem zouden ze ook prima als Gran Reserva kunnen worden geproduceerd

The super bargain of the portfolio has to be the red 2017 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza, which this year shows more development and faster aging, with more tertiary notes than the other reds from 2013 and 2014 that I tasted next to it. The frost of April 2017 killed 100% of the vegetal mass at Cubillo, and the grapes they picked were exclusively from the second generation, therefore fruit that ripened in a much shorter cycle, as the harvest was also earlier. It has notes of damp earth, mushrooms, truffles and forest floor, dry leaves and decayed flowers and herbs. It has a polished palate and is medium-bodied, with mostly resolved tannins, and it feels a little lighter. But it's still worth it. It was produced with a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 5% each Graciano and Mazuelo from vines averaging 53 years of age. It fermented in their old oak vats and matured in used American oak barrels for three+ years. It has 13.5% alcohol, a 3.0 pH and 6.5 grams of acidity. 90,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2023. - Luis Gutiérrez.
