Red Pesquera Albillo Mayor 2021

On the banks of the Duero River (at an altitude of 900 meters) in small plots of calcareous soils, white grape vines grow interspersed with Tempranillo vines. This variety, called Albillo Mayor, has been planted since time immemorial in our villages, as a blending variety, with which claret was obtained and which also served as a dessert for the grape harvesters at harvest time.White vines that are scarce and that make their handpicking a challenge for the winegrower who must search among multiple plots of Tempranillo due to its dispersionn.Seleccionando cluster by cluster, the grape arrives at our winery in optimal conditions for fermentation in French oak barrels, where it will continue its aging on its own lees and batonnage for 7 months.This wine presents nuances typical of this variety; white flowers, a slight presence of stone fruit with subtle citrus nuances, French oak provides persistence in the mouth and a slight creaminess that essentially respects the acidity of the wine and makes our Albillo Mayor a wine with a strong personality, identity and cellaring capacity.
