El Bosque 2021
HK$ 979.23
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 El Bosque comes from 1.482 hectares planted in 1973 on deep gravel soils that produce powerful wines. It fermented in oak vats after a cold maceration and matured in new barrels, mostly French (5% were built with oak from central Europe), for 18 months. It has the refreshing effect of the cooler year with more freshness and nice balance. It's a powerful and generously oaked modern expression of Rioja, with more aromatics from the élevage than La Nieta from their project in Páganos. 5,000 bottles were filled in July 2023.

Description
El Bosque is one of the top-of-the-range wines made by Sierra Cantabria entirely from Tempranillo grapes and whose must has undergone a careful ageing process in order to develop all its characteristics to obtain a full-bodied red wine.
The vineyard from which the grapes are harvested is located at an altitude of 500 metres above sea level and is planted in clay soil, which favours the appearance of a high tannic load thanks to water stress. Undoubtedly, the perfect climate for a delicious wine.
Winemaking
The first step is to harvest the grapes. This process is carried out manually, as is destemming. Once the must is extracted, it undergoes a double fermentation: the first one in oak vats with a capacity of 10 hectalitres and the second one in French oak barrels. Finally, the wine is aged for 18 months before it is bottled.
Taste
One of the most outstanding aspects of this wine is its aromatic charge with hints of red fruits and balsamic notes, while on the palate its flavour is fruity, unctuous and elegant.
The ideal wine to seal a special occasion
Due to its organoleptic characteristics, Finca El Bosque 2018 is the most recommendable alternative to close a special occasion with a flourish. It is the ideal alternative to accompany fatty cheeses, red meats, carpaccio or even to serve at a tasting table with dark chocolate.
Enjoy it with friends, family or even at a business dinner. We assure you that you will not regret it.
