Bardos Villálvaro Red wine

Discover the exceptional Bardos Villálvaro Red Wine from the esteemed Bodegas de Bardos, crafted in the fruitful year of 2021. This exquisite wine features the Tempranillo grape variety and boasts an alcohol content of 14.5%.

The grapes are sourced from small plots situated nearly a thousand meters above sea level, where centuries-old vines coexist with pre-phylloxera varieties that are over 140 years old. These vineyards are nestled in the historic village of Villálvaro, located in the northeastern part of the Ribera del Duero denomination, in the province of Soria. The sandy soils, with a touch of gravel, are well-drained yet retain a refreshing coolness due to the clay-ferrous substrate found at a meter's depth.

Harvesting took place manually on October 16, with meticulous care to ensure only the finest grapes were selected. The wine undergoes fermentation and maceration in a 9,000-kilogram tank at a controlled temperature of 28ºC for three weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation in a 5,000-liter European oak vat. The wine is then aged for 12 months, allowing for a harmonious integration of flavors and complexity.

Visually, the Bardos Villálvaro stands out with its intense, high layer that exhibits a luminous appearance. Its rich cherry-red hues are accented by violet undertones and hints of blue glimmers.

On the nose, you are greeted with a delightful bouquet of jasmine flowers combined with zesty citrus notes of grapefruit and red fruits. A more balsamic character emerges, revealing hints of eucalyptus and aromatic herbs that add depth and intrigue.

On the palate, this wine showcases a perfect balance and elegance throughout its journey. The soft tactile sensations of its structure intertwine beautifully with fresh fruit, a hallmark of high-altitude cultivation. Bardos Villálvaro is a true reflection of the subtleties of the mountainous terrain, complementing red meats and game dishes exceptionally well.

Indulge in this extraordinary wine, and experience the rich heritage and flavors of Spain with every sip.
