Canta la Perdiz Dominio del Aguila 2017

HED23974 75cl 14.5%
Dominio del Aguila is a relatively young winery, established in 2010 by Jorge Monzón, who has experience working at prestigious estates such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Burgundy and Vega Sicilia in Ribera del Duero. Canta la Perdiz is sourced from a single vineyard, which is known for its calcareous clay soils and high altitude. It is a blend of predominantly Tempranillo, with small amounts of other grape varieties such as Garnacha, Bobal, and Albillo. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before undergoing fermentation with native yeasts in a combination of concrete and wooden vats. The wine is then aged in a mix of new and used French oak barrels for an extended period, usually around 30 months, to develop complexity and integrate flavours.

Dominio Aguila

Dominio Aguila

In contrast with the high-alcohol, super-concentrated wines with which Ribera is typically associated, Aguila prizes elegance and restraint in its wines – all made made from carefully selected old-vine plots of Tempranillo, Blanca del País, Bobal, Garnacha, Albillo and Tempranillo Gris. All are farmed organically or biodynamically.

The domaine’s reserva, made from a plot of vines more than 100 years old and aged for 35 months in old French oak, is a masterpiece in concentration with restraint. Also look out for the clarete – an extraordinary barrel-aged rosé-coloured wine made with co-fermented white and red grapes. This traditional style of wine in northern Spain had been largely forgotten in Ribera del Duero until Jorge campaigned to have it recognised in the appellation.
