Product Description
Details

The wine Vizcarra 15 Meses is arguably the best-known Spanish red wine of the Vizcarra winery from Ribera del Duero.

This varietal Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) is made from over 20-year-old vineyards.

After the harvest, the grapes were destemmed, meticulously selected and crushed through gravity.

Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks, with pump-overs performed thrice a day. After that, this red wine from Ribera del Duero completed malolactic fermentation in American oak barrels.

Finally, the wine Vizcarra 2021 was aged for 15 months in French and American oak barrels.

Decant this Crianza red wine 30 minutes before drinking.

Additional Information
Appearance

The red wine Vizcarra is medium ruby with a violet rim.

Nose

This is an intense varietal Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), with aromas of mulberries, red plums and blackberry compote, intertwined with suggestions of nutmeg, vanilla, rosy pepper, liquorice, wet earth and blue flowers.

Palate

Excellent definition, with a lively acidity and slightly rugged tannins. This wine from Bodega Vizcarra has a long finish with remembrances of toast, ripe black fruit and some balsamic and mineral nuances.

Our personal opinion

An exemplary Ribera del Duero, the wine Vizcarra 2021 is bold, but not over the top.
