Finca Villacreces

Tasting Notes

The wine has been produced with the grapes coming from our 64 hectares of vineyards in our state by the banks of the Duero river. The blending combines 90% of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 10% of Cabernet Sauvignon . The yields were particularly low for this 2005 vintage, less than 3000 kg/hectare. Deep purple colour. Complex nose, with intense aromas of mocha, graphite, wild cranberries and cassis. In the mouth it displays a meaty structure, with plenty of spicy dark berries, a good balance and an amazingly long finish. The tannins are well integrated, though will be better in 4-6 years. Drink up to 2027.

Finca Villacreces

Villacreces covers 110 hectares and sits next to the Duero River, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero's Golden Mile. The estate is divided into 15 plots of Tinto Fino, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and framed by century old pine trees, which contribute to both the beauty and the ecology of the vineyards. The microclimate created by the surrounding pine forest protects the estate from the worst weather conditions. Finca Villacreces is a single estate that benefits from the wide variety of soils found within it: sandy, alluvial and stony. The winery is situated at 700 metres above sea level. Its climate is one of extremes, including significant temperature variations, long winters and dry summers with low rainfall. Nevertheless, winemaking focuses on quality to produce wines with personality.
