Sierra de Tolono Camino de Santa Cruz 2021

Grape: Tempranillo
Vintage: 2021
Type: Red

This is Sierra de Toloño's ultimate expression of Tempranillo. Vines are planted at 700 meters altitude, (which is relatively high for the region) on an organically farmed, single vineyard. Combine these factors in addition to limestone soils to create a wine that is completely indicative of the region. Grapes are hand-picked and undergo spontaneous fermentation in old, used foudres and clay amphora. Very much a low intervention style - Sandra Bravo likes to leave her wines well alone if possible - Camino de Santa Cruz comes from a single 0.2-hectare parcel at 650 metres in Rivas de Tereso. Lavender and rosemary aromas segue into a grippy palate with plum and damson fruit flavours and sinewy, grippy tannins.
