Producer: | Three wine lovers founded the Bodegas Carramimbre in Peñafiel, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero wine-growing region. The winery grew steadily and now there are 50 hectares of vineyards in their possession. The best Pago is called "Carramimbre" and is mostly planted with Tempranillo and some Cabernet Sauvignon vines. The grapes are hand-picked and vinified. Many journalists in Spain have recently become aware of the Bodegas Carramimbre wines and encourage the three friends on their way. |
Region | The Ribera del Duero comprises about 12,000 hectares of vineyards. There is a temperate continental climate with slight Atlantic influences. It is raining very little. The summers are very hot with temperatures up to 40 degrees and sudden cooling in the night. The humidity also contributes to the frequent fog formation in the Douro Valley. Gentle curved hills and high plateaus (700 - 800 m above sea level) on both sides of the Douro River with light soils and a lime content of up to 18% fulfill optimal growing conditions. |
Variety: | Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon |
production | Hand picking and subsequent fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The maturation of the wines is over 12 months in American (40%) and French (60%) oak. Here again only a small proportion of new wood, so that the roasted aroma does not leave too much traces. |
tasting note: | A seductive nose of cinnamon, tobacco, vanilla and beguiling ripe fruit. On the palate with an initially powerful start, then soft and harmonious, spicy and ripe, again a lot of cooked fruit and with a vinous-sweet finale. He is long and pleasant. |
Maturity: | Year + 6 years |
Enjoy: | Fondue Chinoise, Fondue Bourguignonne, Bratwurst and Rösti are perfect. Grilled fish from the sea. Younger alp cheese. Paella with meat or without, only with fish - yes, that works too. Cold and hot tapas. Tortilla preferably fresh and warm from the pan. Jamon Iberico, Chorizo and also Lomo are very suitable. |
