La Planta Red wine

La Planta is a remarkable red wine produced in 2023 by Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro, located in Quintanilla de Onésimo, heart of the Ribera del Duero. This exquisite wine is crafted from Tinto Fino grapes, sourced exclusively from the vineyard owned by the winery, with vines that are over 20 years old. The unique terroir, characterized by clay-calcareous soils and bedrock less than a meter below the surface, combined with an altitude of approximately 900 meters, imparts distinct characteristics to the wine.

In appearance, La Planta showcases an appealing cherry red color, reflecting its vibrant character. On the nose, it offers a delightful bouquet of fresh fruit and hints of licorice, complemented by toasty notes that add complexity. On the palate, it is flavorful and powerful, demonstrating a perfect balance between fruit and wood, making it an excellent semi-crianza wine.

La Planta pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including stews, cured meats, legumes, grilled red meats, game, mushrooms, and semi-cured cheeses. This wine is a delightful choice for those looking to explore the rich flavors of Spanish wine while enjoying a memorable culinary experience.
