ABOUT

The grapes to make this wine are the Tempranillo variety grown on 25-year-old vines on our La Planta estate, which is at an altitude of 911 m (2,989 ft) in the Golden Mile of La Ribera del Duero at Quintanilla de Onésimo in the province of Valladolid. The estate is special because of its unusual chalky clay soil, with unfragmented bedrock just one metre below the surface.

TASTING NOTES

Pale salmon in color with nude trim with very little color extraction. High aromatic intensity with notes of strawberries and raspberries. On the palate it is clean and bright with flavors of pine, citrus and passion fruit. 

FOOD PAIRINGS

Vegetable cream, mountain rice, seafood, fried fish, charcuterie, white meats, roasted poultry and sushi. 

VINIFICATION

The grapes with which this wine is made were harvested on September 22, 2021 being the first red grapes to enter Bodegas Arzuaga Navarro. This promptness in carrying out the harvest allows us to acquire the ideal technical and organoleptic characteristics for this wine. After the harvest, which is carried out in the coolest hours of the day and manually, always in boxes of no more than 10 kg, it is taken little by little and quickly to the winery where a very gentle pressing will be carried out in batches of 500 kg. With this we achieve that the extraction of color is necessary for the required characteristics. The temperatures below 12 degrees with which the grapes enter the winery are preserved throughout the fermentation process. Due to which the alcoholic fermentation takes place very slowly, lasting 30 days. After fermentation, it is naturally decanted and bottled to preserve its vibrancy and freshness.

TASTING NOTES

Clear and bright, straw yellow with a golden edge. High aromatic intensity. The first connotations are of pastries together with high memories of flowers such as jasmine, figs and baked apple combined with touches of dried fruit. Unctuous sensation in the mouth that counteracts with points of acidity that give a sensation of freshness at all times in which the wine remains in the mouth. In retronasal, the pastry and smoked tones that had been detected in the nose appear.

ABOUT

This wine has been elaborated from grapes cultivated at the state La Planta, owned by Arzuaga Navarro’s family in Quintanilla de Onésimo, the heart of Ribera del Duero. The soil is clay-calcareous and the subsoil is pure limestone at one meter under the surface. The vineyard altitude is 911 meters over the sea level. These specific conditions provide the distinctive features of the wine.

TASTING NOTES

Medium-high color intensity with cherry red hues and violet rims that denote the youth of the wine. High aromatic intensity, with a great variety of fruits, where the aromas of red fruits stand out and the acid strawberry and cherry predominate and along with these the notes of scrubland and resins, mineral touches and roasted aromas typical of its stay in the barrel. Balance and harmony between the taste components, we are faced with a structured, meaty wine that always amazes for its smoothness and freshness typical of our La Planta wine.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Fried fish, sausage, white meats, roasted poultry, rice and cheeses.

VINIFICATION

The grapes are harvested in the coolest hours of the day, searching for the ideal maturity parameters for this type of wine, enhancing the olfactory-gustatory characteristics of freshness that will later develop in the wine. Once in the winery, they are covered to carry out a cold pre-fermentation maceration for two days in stainless steel tanks before carrying out the alcoholic fermentation for another 7 days at 22ºC. Once the fermentations are nished, they will be aged for six months in French and American oak barrels.

ABOUT

Organic wine made only with grapes from a single 'Valdesardón' estate owned by the Arzuaga Navarro family. It is the westernmost vineyard in the D.O. Ribera del Duero located at 800 meters of altitude in the town of Olivares de Duero. Clay-calcareous terrain on the hillside that will largely mark the characteristics of the wine.

TASTING NOTES

Medium high intensity, clean and bright where the cherry red color predominates with purple ashes. The range of red fruits such as raspberry and cherry predominate with a high aromatic intensity, combining with balsamic tones, coffee and roasted notes typical of its stay in the barrel. This will not mask the fruit that has full prominence. Fresh and elegant wine, with an easy and balanced entry into the mouth leaving sensations of meatiness and volume in the passage through it. Slightly sweet and toasted notes and a pleasant and balanced aftertaste where we recall all the fruity tones detected in the olfactory phase.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Red meat, white meat, game, bluefish and soft cheeses.

VINIFICATION

At the optimum point of maturation, the bunches are harvested in 15 kg boxes and then they will pass through a selection table and will be destemmed until they are packed in stainless steel tanks where, aer a few days cold macerating, they will ferment at around 25ºC. Aged for 12 months in new French oak barrels and malolactic fermentation also carried out in these barrels. The production of this wine has been the continuity due to the desire of non-intervention with which the strains from which it comes were cultivated.

ABOUT

This is a wine from a genuine “pago”. The estate has a terroir where we learn something new every year, making each vintage better than the last, even though they are all different. The vines are at the foot of a hill, protected by a mountain range to the north and facing south, towards two natural lakes. The climate is extreme, with very cold winters and hot summers offering minimal rainfall. The soil has galets on the surface (perfect drainage), clay subsoil with great potential for retaining water (which means that the vines suffer only moderate hydric stress in summer), and a layer of slate underneath that acts like the base of a pond.

TASTING NOTES

Clean and bright, dark cherry color and purple sparkles. A multitude of differentiated nuances, intertwining the ripe red fruit with the aromas of roasted coffee, black fruits and roasted characteristic of our wine. Silky and friendly on then palate, with great intensity and lasting over time; in the aftertaste it reminds us again of the black fruits and roasted notes perceived on the nose.

FOOD PAIRINGS

Rice with white or red grilled meat and chocolate dessert.

VINIFICATION

The third of September when the grapes are in their optimum point of ripeness, we begin the harvest. The

chosen bunches are harvested in boxes of 15kg, selected on the table and later destemmed. The grapes were settled in stainless steel vessels by gravity fall, with cold macerated for 3 days and afterward, the alcohol fermentation at temperature below 27ºC. We racked the wine into the French and American oak barrels to start the malolactic fermentation and then aging time of 12 months.

VINEYARD

As each year Pago Florentino is elaborated with the best grapes of the Solana farm located in the town of Malagón in the autonomous community La Mancha, but for this vintage our wine is already certified organic. The whole vineyard is located around the winery at the foot of the hill, protected with a mountain range in North and oriented South, toward two natural lagoons. The climatological conditions are very particular with temperatures below zero in winter and temperatures that can exceed 40ºC in summer. The surface of the plot is a pebble soil (perfect drain) and a slate layer below those functions as a raft.
