Description
Always a favorite of mine, the 2022 La Nieta didn’t betray its floral, elegant and complex, insinuating character even in a year like 2022 and is aromatic, clean and expressive from the first minute, with purity and energy. Even the tannins are more elegant and polished than other 2022s. Perfumed, subtle and elegant, it developed a note of blood with time in the glass, which Marcos Eguren likes to call iodine. It transcends the quality of the year. 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2024.

Varietal
Tempranillo
There are plenty of notable native Spanish grapes which have made a big impression on the wine world at large, but none are as renowned or as widely loved as the Tempranillo varietal. This black skinned grape has been used for wine making for centuries, with several ancient civilizations noticing the fact that it is highly versatile and holds some delicious flavors and aromas, perfect for those looking for a powerful yet elegant grape for their wines. Tempranillo often causes winemakers some trouble, however, as it is highly susceptible to many diseases. Despite this, plenty continue to persevere with this varietal, as it is perfect for producing delicious and complex single variety and blended wines, packed full of classic Spanish flavors and plenty of aromatic and intense surprises.
