Canta La Perdiz 2015, Dominio del Aguila

Vi har aldrig smagt noget lignende. Hvordan er det lykkedes DRC-troldmandens lærling, Jorge Monzon, at proppe så meget fortættet, mørk intensitet ned i én og samme rødvin - og SAMTIDIG bevare så elegant og raffineret et udtryk? 

Det officielle Ribera del Duero-råd har klassificeret årgang 2015 som "Excellent".

Anmeldelser af Dominio del Águila Canta la Perdiz 2015

98/100 Robert Parker
"The scarcest and rarest of the reds is the single-vineyard 2015 Canta la Perdiz, produced with the field-blend grapes of one of the oldest vineyards in the village of La Aguilera, a plot at 890 meters in altitude that has sandy and limestone-rich soils that give the wine a specific texture reminiscent of chalk. It's planted with a field blend dominated by Tempranillo but with small percentages of many other grapes, and the aim is to be able to ferment them all together. The ripeness of 2015 allowed for all the different varieties to achieve good ripeness, and they were all included in the wine, which fermented with full clusters and indigenous yeasts. It was foot trodden, and the malolactic and slow and long aging was in French oak barrels and lasted 31 months. It's a wine of perfume and finesse, gentle and tender, attractive and showy, developing nice complexity in the glass, with a more Mediterranean profile, some fennel and aromatic herbs. It has a velvety texture with very fine tannins. It also has very good freshness and balance, and it finishes long and dry. 1,220 bottles and 24 magnums were filled in May 2018."

97/100 Decanter
"I had never imagined how delicate Ribera del Duero could be until I tasted Jorge Monzón’s wines. A pure joy of floral and fruity aromas, easy-going yet impressively complex and long: a new benchmark for elegance and depth in Spain. One of those wines that changes perceptions. 40 months’ oak."

96/100 James Suckling
"Aromas of wild blackberries, blueberries, dried violets, tobacco, cedar, pine and dark chocolate. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy and powdery tannins, framing a rich core of black and blue fruit. Deep and polished with lingering vanilla and spice notes. Lots of stone and tar character. From organically grown grapes"

Canta la Perdiz er med frugtfylde, krydderi og tæt tannin den perfekte kødvin. Lækker til lam, men lige så sublim med oksekød – gerne krogmodnet! Nyd vinen efter iltning ved 16-18°

Canta la Perdiz 2015 er fremstillet på håndhøstede druer fra 100-150 år gamle stokke, heraf flere upodede. Hovedageligt Tempranillo, men også samplantede sorter som Bobal og Albillo. Enkeltmarken er beliggende nær landsbyen La Aguilera i 890 meters højde. Markens orientering mod syd samt jordbunden med sand over porøs kalksten giver vinen sit særlige mix af karakterfasthed og parfumeret elegance.

Efter traditionel fodtrampning af håndhøstede og hele drueklaser gæres mosten uden brug af kulturgær. Malolaktisk gæring foregår på fade – en meget langsommelig proces ved lav temperatur. Efter 31 måneders fadmodning på mestendels franske egetræsfade aftappes vinene manuelt. Ingen klaring, ingen filtrering.
