James Suckling: 89 The Story Founded in 1987, the winery has over thirty years of experience making wines that stand out for their price-quality ratio in this famed region. The winery owns over 100ha of vineyards, many over 50 years of age. By owning several small wineries in various villages around Aranda del Duero, the growers are able to minimize transport meaning the grapes are vinified in optimum conditions. Winemaking The grapes are sourced from vineyards around Aranda de Duero, located at an average altitude of 800 metres, known for making Tempranillo wines that are concentrated in fruit while maintaining freshness.The grapes are fermented at a controlled temperature of 25-28C, primarily in stainless steel, with 18-21 days’ maceration for extraction. Spontaneous malolactic fermentation takes place largely in stainless steel vats and some oak influence before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Deep black cherry colour with a ruby red rim. The classic profile of maturing Crianza from the region highlights ripe black fruit and spiced oak aromas. Well structured with juicy succulent black fruit flavours, ripe tannins and a long finish of toasted oak.
