Vina Cubillo Crianza, Rioja 2011 GermanyVia Cubillo wines come from the vineyard called Via Cubillas, some 4 km away from the bodega, which as with all of the other vineyards, was bought by our founder. Historically these wines were called "Special Harvest". Vina Cubillas has an altitude of 410 m, and the vines have an average age of 40 years. The soil is from the terciary age and is a mixture of clay and limestone. Via Cubillas covers 24 ha, of which 16 ha are under Tempranillo, 4 ha
The final result is staggering - a harmonious blend of these noble grapes is completely at one with the terroir and gives us a wine with minerality
The vines are planted at a high density of 2
allowing the wine to be approachable in its youth
They are witnesses to the life of the property and the expression of great emotions
Boysenberry and dark cherry dominate an inviting nose
gravel soils and microclimate of the Gimblett Gravels region
A wine meant for classic Cabernet lovers that will be truly rewarding with careful ageing and cellaring
thereby producing a wine with the style of a Vintage Port with its deep colour and concentration of fruit but with a more mature character caused by the longer ageing in wood
Slows down the oxidation process
Produced uniquely during the best years
fine and harmonious champagne
and intriguing whiffs of exotic spice
