PostHeaderIcon Bobal wines (III): LasDosCes 2010

LasdosCes 2010

 
Wine type 
Young red wine aged in oak


Grape Varieties
 Bobal, Tempranillo and Syrah


Elaboration
Each variety is vinified separately. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of less than 25° C followed by a maceration period of two weeks for the Tempranillo and three weeks for the Syrah. The cap is punched down (turbo-pigeage) two times per day to ensure gentle extraction and the wine is racked and returned (délestage) twice during maceration at one and two thirds of the fermentation process.

The free-run wine of each variety is then aged in two and three-year old French oak barrels during five months. The blending of both varieties takes place just before bottling.

Spiegelau Authentics 01.

Color and nuance:
Bright vibrant cherry red with a brilliant shiny violet rim highlighting the wine’s youth..

Flavour of the
Wine:
Fresh, smooth and intense. Underlined silky sensation of the Syrah and structure of Bobal.

Overall impression
: The relatively short crianza/ageing process results in a youthful, meaty and fruity wine that will match very well with blue fish or fatty fish like sardines, fresh anchovies, mackerel, trout, tuna, bonito, salmon and swordfish - fish with strong flavours complementing the structure and body of such a young wine.
