SpainCuesta is made with 84 year old garnacha vines. The fruit is destemmed, very gently pressed and lightly extracted. The juice is decanted off its lees post ferment and bottled without filtering after spending nine months in 3 year old oak. The winemaker is Ruben Diaz, born and raised in Cebreros, Avila, one of the principal villages responsible for the reawakening of Gredos wines. The Sierra de Gredos region lies 90 minutes west of Madrid, in a warm continental climate between 650-1200 meters high. There are a few words to describe how fabulous this wine is. Intense, moody, silky, packed with black pepper and black raspberries, delicate, sensitive, moving. It is sensational. Beg, borrow, or steal a few bottles if you can find them.Tasted: 02 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:

SpainThe wine region Sierra de Gredos, a 90 minute drive west of Madrid, is named for the neighbouring mountain range, and rests 650-1200 meters high. It's a hotbed for young, adventuresome winemakers recovering ancient vines (in sandy, slate, granite), and winemaking traditions. Ruban Diaz is one of the emblematic winemakers of the area, born and bred in Ceberos. This organic older vine garnacha was mostly destemmed (15% whole cluster), native fermented and aged in older French oak for 9 months, and bottled without filtration. Corked, will try another.Tasted: 30 April 2022Tasted by: Prices:
