This is without doubt the Lucendo brothers' oenological jewel. A wine born of their determination to rescue those small plots that are on the point of disappearing but which have exceptional qualities. The Tinto Velasco comes from a small pre-phylloxera vineyard more than 145 years old, quite possibly the oldest vineyard in the whole of La Mancha. Their most awarded wine, and the one that has most caught the attention of critics and specialist sommeliers.<\/p>\n

Tasting note<\/h3>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Appearance<\/b>To the eye it has a beautiful cherry red colour with violet tones.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Nose<\/b>Medium to high in depth with a well-covered rim, it is clean and bright. On the nose it is complex and persistent, with notes of stewed cherry and other ripe fruits such as blueberries and plums. It has notes of toast, smoke and roasted coffee over a mineral, spiced base. There are also woods and aromatic herbs.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Palate<\/b>On the palate the attack is powerful and broad, yet agreeable across the palate. Good acidity and sweet, perfectly integrated tannins. Again the sensations of fresh and stewed fruit arrive, with roasted and smoky hints that complete a most surprising and enjoyable bouquet.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
Pairing<\/b>Ideal with rice dishes, grilled meats and small game, and also with the partridge p\u00e2t\u00e9 typical of the area.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Winemaking<\/h3>\n

Exceptionally careful winemaking, with a long pre-fermentation maceration followed by an equally long alcoholic fermentation in Manchegan clay tinajas. The malolactic and the subsequent twelve months' ageing take place in new French oak barrels from the world's most prestigious cooperages, such as Taransaud and Radoux.<\/p>\n

House recommendation<\/h3>\n

We recommend uncorking and decanting one hour beforehand to enjoy the wine at its fullest. And serving it in a wide glass between 14\u00baC and 16\u00baC.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
