Bodegas Vizcarra owns 35 ha. of Tinto Fino vines and 1 ha. of  Merlot, as well as some other plots planted with other foreign varieties,  dispersed in different plots located in the municipal districts of   Mambrilla de Castrejón and Roa de Duero. In 1991, Juan Carlos Vizcarra, the actual proprietor of the winery, following his father’s footsteps takes over the winery, making first young wines and later aged wines. In 2007 they start operating from their new facilities where the whole process of elaboration and ageing is done by gravity, this way avoiding the use of electrical pumps, in order to achieve a major concentration of aromas and much softer tannins, as a result the wines stand out for their elegance and personality.  www.vizcarra.es 

Tasting Notes:  Good nose of licorice, creme de cassis, mineral and spice complemented by concentrated black fruits aromas. Creamy textured,  spiced black fruit in confiture. Good balance between fruit and oak with nicely integrated mature tannins.

Note: It is recommended to decant. Drinking nicely now through  2024.
