Bardos Viñedos de Altura Red wine
Discover the exquisite Bardos Viñedos de Altura Red Wine from the 2022 vintage, an exceptional offering from Bodegas de Bardos. This remarkable wine, with an alcohol content of 15%, is crafted from the Tempranillo grape variety, which thrives in the unique terroir of the extreme vineyards of Soria, nestled between the towns of Alcubilla and Villálvaro.
These vineyards, steeped in a rich winemaking tradition, are located at altitudes of over 950 meters, near the headwaters of the Duero River and the influential Urbión mountain. The grapes are cultivated on sandy soils interspersed with fine gravel, supported by iron-rich clays. The old vines are low-yielding, surrounded by lush woodlands filled with holm oaks, junipers, and oaks, which impart a distinct character to the wine.
The meticulous harvest takes place manually between September 29th and October 18th, ensuring only the best grapes are selected. The wine undergoes a gentle fermentation and maceration process in 15,000 kg capacity tanks at 18ºC for two weeks, followed by malolactic fermentation in stainless steel deposits. Afterward, it is aged for 12 months in a variety of oak containers, ranging from 225-liter barrels to 600-liter bocoyes and larger vats, allowing for the development of its complex profile.
Visually, Bardos Viñedos de Altura presents a bright cherry red color with deep purple hues and a high layer. On the nose, it is fresh and intricate, offering an array of fruity notes complemented by subtle spicy undertones. In the mouth, this wine is incredibly pleasant, featuring velvety and mature tannins. The acidity is perfectly integrated with its density, creating a harmonious balance. The finish brings back the freshness of the fruit, making it a delightful experience from start to finish.
This wine pairs excellently with red meats and game, making it an ideal choice for your next gathering or special dinner. Elevate your wine collection with Bardos Viñedos de Altura and indulge in a true taste of Spanish heritage.
