Leda Viñas Viejas 2008

Great expression of the Tempranillo from the region of Castilla-León.

It is made of Tempranillo vines from different vineyards with unique characteristics in each case, which provide multiple nuances to the grapes and consequently to the wine. All the vines are aged of more than 50 years.

The grapes undergo a winemaking process separatly according to the vineyard in which they were grown, the vine age and the type of culture. It is always conducted once the grapes are destemmed. After a long fermentation and a long maceration in closed tanks, it undergoes a malolactic fermentation in French and American oak barrels, in which it stays for 30 months. Finally, it rests in tanks for 4-6 months before being bottled. It is clarified with egg albumin and undergoes a plate filtration.

It is recommended to decant this wine at least 4 hours before serving it.

It has a great ageing potential as it can be stored for 10 years approximately.

A great, elegant and very serious wine.

Deep and dark, almost black cherry colour with maroon edges. Clean and bright wine with high robe and elegant, dense and slow-falling tears.

Initially, a big load of fruit is released, with abundant notes of very ripe red and black fruit mixed with good toasted aromas. When it opens up, a touch of spices appear and the smoked and balsamic aromas gain in expressiveness. Marked mineral background which forms a harmonious, very complex and intense aromatic set.

Very good, broad and enveloping attack. From the first sip, the powerful and harmonious aromas found in the nose are noticed again, very well integrated. Very dense, creamy, tasty and full bodied wine with a good volume. It shows a great structure, a great balance, firm and well-integrated tannins and an excellent acidity. Its finish is very long and persistent.

An elegant, powerful, full-bodied and bulky wine from Castilla-León with a great character. A round wine.
