UKAN En Primeur

Pure Tempranillo sourced from five sites, raised in concrete and French oak barriques for 11 months. Dense, soft aromatics of cherry and bramble fruits, crunchier red highlights, and hints of balsamic and spice. Full-bodied, supple and juicy, ripe yet restrained, and very nicely balanced, with lush red fruits abound and a pleasing sappy thread. Long, fragrant and velvety, this ‘second wine’ will offer great joy on release. 0-7 years.

The grand vin, wholly Tempranillo from three old Laguardia vineyards, fermented in large open-top vats, and aged in French oak barriques for 16 months. There is a real drive here, a lovely dark perfume and lots of crushed, crisp dark fruits all with super focus and purity. The palate shows the oak with a creamy, spicy theme, a chalky mineral framework provides lift and structure, as more creamy blue/black fruits push on through a smooth, long finish. Plush, nicely balanced and full of potential. 3-9 years.

Based on Viura, with 5% Tempranillo Blanco and 5% of other varieties from old vineyards. Fermented in large open-top vats and mature in French barriques and a huge concrete egg for 12 months. A wine of texture, this is silky and stony, saline and subtly perfumed, offering a core of white fruit and citrus, spring flowers, vanilla and earthy spices, with a distinct mineral thread. Tiny production from low-yield old vines on white soils. 0-7 years.
