Tasting notes La Vizcaína El Rapolao 2023

Red wine Aged in wood Respectful agriculture. 12 months in French oak barrels used.

La Vizcaína El Rapolao 2023 is a red wine that opens with a fresh and delicate bouquet: wild raspberries and mountain herbs wafting over a mineral backdrop, like dew on slate. A deeper exploration reveals its serious character: ripe dark fruits, an earthy whisper, and spicy nuances. On the palate, it is savoury and balanced, with fine-grained tannins reminiscent of chalk's touch. Its finish is prolonged, both elegant and rustic, leaving an echo of dark fruit and spices that beckons the enjoyment of another glass.
