Hacienda Solano Seleccion 2023

Drink it now or cellar for up to 15 years. It is recommended to decant it for an hour. Located in the Spanish wine region of Ribera del Duero, Hacienda Solano is a family winery founded in 2001 by the Cubillo brothers, using the family vineyards, which until then had been used to produce grapes to sell. The Hacienda, which grows its vines organically (but without certification), has old vineyards in the area of ​​La Aguilera, where the altitude, the temperature differences between day and night, and the soil and climate conditions guarantee the production of high-quality wines with excellent aging potential. Selección is a red wine produced with Tinto Fino grapes sourced from vineyards over 30 years old. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in steel tanks. The finished wine rests in used French oak barrels for 8 months. The wine shows a clear color with bright cherry tones. On the nose, it reveals a fragrant character, with notes of plum and dark fruits, hints of licorice and cherries, and balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is complex and silky, with a surprising vein of freshness and soft and well-integrated tannins. It is concentrated and round with a long and persistent finish. Excellent with liver patés, and lamb meat.
