Descripción

Bodegas Félix Lorenzo Cachazo elabora este vino dorado según la tradición de Rueda: exponiendo el vino a la intemperie, a grandes contrastes térmicos, en damajuanas de cristal. El resultado es un vino especial, muy aromático, con recuerdos de crianza oxidativa y un gusto glicérico, largo y envolvente.

Viñedo y elaboración

Cosecha
Vendimia manual.
Vinificación
Las uvas se recepcionan en bodega por variedades, se despalillan y estrujan con un suave prensado para extraer el mosto yema.
Dicho mosto es fermentado en depósito de acero inoxidable. Nada más finalizar la fermentación alcohólica se elimina la lía gruesa y se realiza el "coupage" de los dos tipos de vinos.
Envejecimiento
El vino se envasa temporalmente en damajuanas (garrafas de cristal) de 16 litros, que permanecen a la intemperie durante 18 meses, sometidas a temperaturas extremas (-10ºC en invierno y hasta 38ºC en verano). Así se realiza una crianza oxidativa. Después el vino permanece en barricas de roble durante al menos dos años antes de su embotellado.

Opinión de los críticos

Tim Atkin:

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

The Wine Advocate:

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)

James Suckling:

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.
