TENTENUBLO ESCONDITE DEL ARDACHO: VERIQUETE TINTO 2020 - red

Style : Rocks & MineralsUsing grapes from Viñaspre in Rioja Alavesa, Roberto Oliván and his family make wines in traditional winegrower fashion: they tend to six hectares and process the harvest in their own warehouse before selling to the public. In 2017, their wines were declassified by the Regulatory Council, and since then, they endeavor to produce “free wines from the Hamlet of Viñaspre,” or VLAV for short. The hamlet has 20 residents and is set at the foot of Sonsierra, surrounded by forest on all sides. Tentenublo produces a pure style that reflects its setting; almost everything ages in concrete, resulting in a juicy expression with refined tannins, good intensity and ample power.The 2020 Escondite del Ardacho Veriquete is a blend of 60% Tempranillo, 30% Garnacha and 10% Viura from Viñaspre, Rioja Alavesa, aged for 12 months in foudres. This reductive wine with a deep black garnet hue reveals notes of violets and cherry, accompanied by a layer of oaky balsamic tones. Dry and juicy, the fine tannins create a delicately textured palate that lingers with a lasting finish of thyme.
