2016 | Bodegas Triton Tridente | Entresuelos Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y Leon

The vineyards of Tempranillo, with which the wine is produced, are planted on sandy soils in the traditional “vaso” system are located in the areas of El Pego and Villanueva de Campean within the province of Zamora. The hand-picked grapes are fermented. Very deep red cherry color. Rich and muscular, with exotic roasted spice and blueberry confiture notes followed by racy graphite and espresso. The ripe finish of chocolate and spice is well-proportioned.

Reviews:

• Penin Guide: Color: very intense cherry. Nose: aromatic, powerful coffee, black fruit, ripe fruit, wild herbs. Mouth: persistent, ripe tannins, sweetness.

Producer Information

A small winery making great wines, located at Villanueva de Campeán, some 30 km to the south of Zamora, in the midst of ‘Tierra del Vino’ (Land of the Wine) country. The predominant variety used is Tinta de Toro, also known as Tempranillo. With this local indigenous variety they combine Prieto Picudo and Mencía, originating from vineyards that are fairly old and low-yielding in Bierzo and León. The winery has more than 30 parcels of old vineyards, some boasting grapevines over 100 years old. The management of technical operations and production comes under the responsibility of winemaker Amy Hopkins from New Zealand, an expert when it comes to handling the winery’s 3 varieties, who has spent a number of years working in the region and with good results.
