The most special feature of this wine is its dark color, almost jet black, obtained through lengthy macerations of acid grapes with a high alcoholic content. Because we like structured wines, with minerality and plenty of delicious red fruit like blackberries, raspberries and berries, with notable hints of licorice.
It's a rosé wine made with the saignée method, with lees involvment, fermented solely with natural yeasts and later daily stirrings (batonages) to turn it into a unctuous wine with great acidity. Lambuena Rosé is a whimsical wine, traditional from the zone, which doesn't follow trends, almost like a red wine although less colored.
As it name says, it's made using grapes from the original old vines that have belonged to the familiy during generations, as well as other old vines that we have purchased from retired winemakers. We make this wine only in the right years, only when these vines have responded correctly.
Our most balanced wine, made with grapes from the highest plots of clayey and limestone soils with the right pH and acidity, with very low production levels. It's made from small bunches of tight grapes with deep roots and rich mineral contributions.
We achieve a slightly reduced wine, with ruby red color, planty of body, opaque and with a silky alcoholic sensation. On the nose it's very mineral, with spice, ripe fruit, black berries and pepper notes.
Lambuena Crianza is a very complex and harmonious wine, with well rounded and balanced tannines.
It's made with the best grapes of each harvest, the ones from the highest zones of our estate, where production is scarce. We mix grapes from our best plots: Carrequintana, Alto de Lambuena, Alto de las Conejeras and San Andrés.
It has a 16 months aging period in barrels and several years in bottles, until reaching it's most plentiful stage. As a result we have a wine of great complexity, with spicy and truffle scents over a ripe fruit background and mineral notes obtained from clayey soils. It's a meaty wine, wide, long, tasteful and mineral, very representative of our terroir.
A simple but exquisite wine, both due to the age of the Tempranillo it's made of (18 years old on espaliers) and to the youthful and fresh sensations it provokes. We perform bunch thinning so that the maduration and grade are optimal. Harvested manually and with a careful selection of bunches, all of which without losing the finesse and elegance typical of our wines.
We can appreciate in this wine the presence of black fruit, white flowers and licorice. Fine and elegant taste, with youthful strength, divine treasure from the Ribera del Duero.
