Description

... 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Garnacha Tintorera ... In this wine, from the joint venture with U.S. importer Eric Solomon that started in 1999, they used part of full clusters and sourced the grapes from Casa Marta, a nine-hectare, head-pruned, dry-farmed plot on very stony soils in the north of Yecla at the foot of the Mount Arabí. It fermented in concrete vats and open-top barrels and matured in barrique, each variety separately, for some ten months, after which it was blended and bottled. This is the vintage of the big change in this wine, where, as with the majority of its siblings, there is better balance and more integrated oak, more freshness and better balance. The nose is quite captivating, especially after some time in the glass, when it starts developing some floral aromas, perfect ripeness, no warmth or alcohol and a powerful, yet terribly balanced palate with concentration and elegance, fine-grained tannins and clean, focused flavors. This is my favorite Solanera to date. Drink Date: 2018-2021. Score - 92. (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, Dec. 29, 2017)

Tasting Notes

The Solanera Viñas Viejas is crafted from hand-harvested grapes. It's composed of 65% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Tintorera and was aged in 80% French and 20% American oak. The resulting wine will be rich and dense, with excellent clarity to the dark fruit tones. This will be at its best now through 2020+.
