Tasting notes
The 2015 Las Iruelas comes from the whole plot, which is quite heterogeneous, with different soils, exposures and altitudes. It was cropped from the warmest and driest vintage of the last ten years, but this vineyard always delivers wines of medium body, with an elegant and subtle character, more notes of spice than fruit, with an earthy touch and some earthy tannins in the drier years. 2,000 bottles were produced.

Extremely perfumed aromas of orange peel, orange blossom, cherries and hints of strawberries, following through to a medium-to full-bodied palate with silky tannins and a crisp and clean finish. Complex and individualistic. Try in 2020.
‘Vino de Parcela’, single vineyard in the village of El Tiemblo in the Valle del Tiétar. 1.5 ha facing directly east. Steep with more sand and quartz in the layers. Viewed as the top of his range. Meaty nose. Lots of freshness and sweetness. This seems a little more like Châteauneuf until the end when the chewy tannins blow on to the palate. Rather broad and luscious. Lots of grip on the end after such a friendly start. (JR)
