Plums, cherries, nutmeg and oranges on the nose, with some mocha. It’s creamy and juicy with a medium to full body, ripe fruit and pretty spice character, bound together by plush tannins. Drink or hold.
Winemaker Notes
Made from a thicker-skinned variety of Tempranillo indigenous to the La Mancha region, called Cencibel.
Cherry red in color with a purple rim, clean and bright. It has an expressive and concentrated nose. The ripe blackberry and plum type fruit stands out, accompanied by a subtle liquorice background, typical nuances of the Tempranillo variety. Its 23-month aging in American oak barrels gives it enveloping aromas of vanilla and cocoa. The palate is a full-bodied wine, with polished and well-integrated tannins. Attractive fruity and meaty attack, with a wide, voluminous mid palate, a long and pleasant finish with hints of sweet spices and roasted notes such as toffee or cocoa. A wine that has body with fine-grained, well-integrated tannins. The entry is fruity and fleshy. The mid-palate is full with good volume, while the finish is long and pleasant with hints of sweet spices and toasted notes such as toffee and cocoa.
Grilled red meat, small game birds and ground game, such as partridge and hare.
Vineyard Notes
With a great dedication to quality control, Alejandro has made sure the wines he produces at El Vínculo, from the estate’s founding in 1999, are unique gems of D.O. La Mancha, where quantity often overshadows quality.
