Dominio Basconcillos Alto del Cura 2020

Alcohol content

• The wine has a significantly high alcohol content of 15.5% ABV.

Origin and Terroir

Produced in Ribera del Duero , close to the region's highest areas – the vineyard is located around 960 meters above sea level , with calcareous soil, gravel and sand

The conditions with large temperature variations day and night, high solar intensity and cooler nights contribute to wines with freshness, aromatic intensity and good acid structure.

The grapes are carefully harvested and selected – manual collection, bunch-by-bunch sorting and plot selection ensure a concentrated and terroir-driven wine.

Composition & Vinification

Typical blend with Tempranillo , Cabernet Sauvignon , Malbec and Merlot

Vinification: aged for 26 months in French oak (50% new, 50% first-use), creating depth and complexity without overpowering the terroir

Taste experience

Color : Deep cherry red with garnet red reflections

Aroma : Initially subtle notes of wood and spices; with oxygenation, forest fruit and minerals emerge, followed by floral notes such as violet – all linked to the altitude and calcareous soil of the terroir

Taste : Dry and broad in the mouth with a velvety and full-bodied texture. The wine's freshness and acidity work perfectly with seamless tannins and a fruit-driven retronasal flavor

Food match

Goes excellently with selective meats , especially Iberian pork , well-prepared stews and dishes with deep flavors such as lamb, grilled meats or natural, slightly strong dishes.

Serving advice

Recommended serving temperature: around 16 °C . The wine should be opened 30 minutes before serving for optimal expression.
