The 2018 Terreus Paraje de Cueva Baja was cropped from a cool vintage when the vineyard saw some snow and a slow ripening of the grapes, which were harvested on the 16th of September under perfect conditions. It fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts and daily pump-overs, followed by malolactic in barrel and 20 months in French barrique. There is a lot of purity in this wine, and it shows the effect of the cooler year. They are increasing the percentage of used barrique, and the oak feels better integrated. It's a very serious wine, with depth, complexity and persistence. I think there's more and more effect from the limestone soils in the wine (texture!) as the élevage marks the wine is a softer way. This is among the finest vintages of Terreus. 10,066 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2020.

This vibrant, harmonious red is tightly meshed at first, slowly unfurling on the palate to show an enticing range of cherry and strawberry reduction, medicinal herb, mocha and spiced orange notes. The chalky tannins are fine, providing a taut, well-defined frame and firming the minerally finish. Tempranillo. Best after 2024. 410 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Spain / Vi?o de la Tierra de Castilla y León Select to Add
