Tasting notes Vetus 2023

Red wine Aged in wood. 12 months in French oak barrels.

Vetus 2023 is a robust and full-bodied red wine that opens with an embrace of stewed black fruit, toffee, and liquorice, where creamy oak notes and a lactic nuance caress the nose before inviting you to explore its texture. On the palate, it appears mature and concentrated, with fine-grained tannins providing structure without harshness, and a spiced profile that links to a dry and lingering finish, like a warm conversation by the fireplace. This wine has body and presence, perfect for accompanying hearty dishes or for savouring during an after-dinner conversation where the passage of time becomes an ally of enjoyment.

About Vetus

Better a little that is good, than much that is bad. This principle applies to all areas of life, including the realm of wine. It is well known that old vines (those over 30 years) tend to yield fewer grapes; however, their quality is unmatched. With these natural wonders, Vetus is crafted.
 
Only the most exceptional areas, with the finest vineyards, will be selected to produce this estate wine, which aims to preserve the essence of DO.Toro. This designation, located in the northwest of Spain, has demonstrated a rich tradition in the production of such wines. The soils of sandstone and sediments, mixed with clays and limestones, provide the ideal foundation for cultivating tinta de toro, a native grape that is traditionally grown, true to this designation.
 
Vetus is harvested manually and collected in 15-kilogram boxes to be transported to the winery. Here, at the winery's facilities, Vetus undergoes a selection table, where only the best bunches and grapes proceed to the destemming phase, where the stalks will be removed. Finally, after a gentle crushing, Vetus will ferment in stainless steel tanks, where the malolactic fermentation will also take place. Nonetheless, the true finishing touch will come from the 12 months Vetus will spend in new French oak barrels.
 
For quality must always prevail over quantity, and because Vetus, despite its scarcity, always leaves an indelible mark.
