2019 | Carraovejas 'Cuesta de las Liebres' | Ribera del Duero
The top-of-the-range 2019 Cuesta de Las Liebres is pure Tinto Fino from a slope (“cuesta” is the Spanish word for slope), 3.36 hectares planted in 1993 that they only bottle separately in exceptional years. 2019 was a healthy and homogeneous vintage, with ripeness and harmony. It comes from very chalky and white soils. The handpicked grapes fermented in small oak vats with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in new 225-liter French oak barrels. The oak is integrated and does not dominate the aromas or flavors, and the wine is serious and harmonious, with elegance and subtleness. It has 15% alcohol and a full-bodied palate with abundant, fine-grained and chalky tannins. 8,000 bottles were filled in May 2022.
