Description
Spanish wines have always been a favourite of Michel Chapoutier. It was therefore of no surprise that the company should look for a domain there. At the heart of the Douro Valley, Dominio Del Soto is one of the rare Spanish crops derived from organic farming methods applying ancestral practices. Mathilde Chapoutier firmly believes in the potential of this terroir and encouraged the wine company to invest in the vineyard. A few years on, and M. CHAPOUTIER has applied the necessary know-how, creating highly concentrated, well-rounded, fruity wines. The domain is currently being converted to biodynamic practices.
The 2015 Dominio Del Soto Crianza is a full-bodied red wine from the Ribera del Duero region of Spain. It is made from 100% Tempranillo grapes, which are hand-harvested and aged for 12 months in French and American oak barrels. The wine has a deep ruby color and aromas of ripe red fruit, leather, and spice. On the palate, it is smooth and balanced, with flavors of blackberry, cherry, and vanilla. The tannins are well-integrated and the finish is long and lingering. This is an excellent wine to pair with grilled meats, stews, and aged cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar it for up to five years for further complexity.
