Red Wine: 2018 | Alvar de Dios Hernandez | Tio Uco

The 2018 Tío Uco was radically different from the 2017 I also tasted next to it, and right so, because the years were also very different. There is contained ripeness here and a lot more nuance and freshness.

      Detailed Description

      The 2018 Tío Uco was radically different from the 2017 I also tasted next to it, and right so, because the years were also very different. There is contained ripeness here and a lot more nuance and freshness. It's more elegant and shows better balance, and it's a good expression of Tinta de Toro (aka Tempranillo), with a softening 10% Garnacha that fermented with wild yeasts and matured in used oak foudres of different sizes for six months, followed by a further six months in stainless steel before it was bottled.

      Producer Information

      Affection and respect for the land, commitment to nature and reunion with tradition are the keys that guide Álvar de Dios Hernández's winemaking career since, in 2008, he began managing a century-old vineyard owned by his grandfather Donaciano, built on Quaternary sands. in El Pego (Zamora), in the Toro Denomination of Origin. From there arose the red Aciano, which a year later would have a white companion, Vagüera, emerging from a small and historic hawthorn in El Maderal (Zamora), El Rapadal estate, which preserves more than twelve native varieties of white grapes. With that same brand, but coming from another area, Las Mansas, a white Malvasía was born a year later. In 2014, Álvar de Dios gave shape and body to his own winery and, in 2015, he extended his radius of action to one of the most unknown and powerful areas of the wine map: Arribes del Duero. From tiny, centuries-old vineyards, many of them on terraces and precipices above the river, on white slate and pyrite soils, wines emerged that capture the flavor and ancestral culture of that mysterious border land: Camino de los Arrieros, Las Vidres and Yavallo.
