Notes on the Wine
100% Tempranillo. Sourced from some of the oldest low-yielding estate vines, some up to 100 years old, which produce deeply pigmented and rich Tempranillo grapes. Aged for 15 months in French oak, this wine shows concentrated aromas of blackberry and plum, spice, leather and cedar. Rich and juicy black fruit flavors, silky texture and integrated tannins provide a lingering finish.
Notes on the Producer
The facilities of Bodegas Tridente are placed in Villanueva de Campean, 30km south from Zamora, in the center of the so-called Land of The Wine. The winery, small sized, was designed for small productivity of red grapes, especially those of Tinta de Toro variety, indigenous of the land and with a tradition in the region. They are also produced the Prieto Picudo and Mencía varieties of grapes, coming from old vineyards with a low productivity, from Bierzo and León regions. The Gil Family is accompanied by Enrique Busto in this project and the technical direction is managed by Frank Gonzales, Australian enologist with a Spanish origin.
