Loculto Selección is the reflection of our desire to innovate and provide a very personal vision to the Ribera del Duero of our area and our winery. A grape from a selection of payments, a meticulous and limited production and a semi-aging in French oak make this wine one of the most unique in the winery.

History

It is the most personal interpretation of a wine that we have in the cellar. Years ago we decided to carry out several small semi-ageing winemaking with grapes from selected plots. The experiences obtained became the Loculto Selección. A different wine, closer to the oenological characteristics of each vintage.

Elaboration

Loculto is a 100% Tempranillo wine from a relatively young vineyard, harvested manually and selecting the vineyards and their grapes. Before reaching the glass, it has fermented in steel tanks and later in French oak barrels for 9 months.

Tasting Notes

A deep cherry red wine with shades of violet. Quite powerful fruity aromas of Blueberry , blackberry, toffee, caramel and grilled bread. Nice texture on the palate with voluptuous tannins. Perfect balance between ripe fruit and spicy wood with a toasted finish that gives it its own personality.
