Marqués del Atrio Finca El Rubio
Marqués del Atrio
SKU:
The icon of Marqués del Atrio. Our winemaker Rodrigo Espinosa's passion for the Graciano variety has led him to create a very unique wine from a small 1.4-hectare plot and 100% Graciano grapes. In the past, Graciano was rarely used in blends and only to add a "touch of grace," but Rodrigo has elevated that "grace" to a limited production wine exclusively of this variety.

Located in the "Rubio de Arriba" area, a short distance from the winery, in one of Mendavia's most special corners and sheltered by pine trees. Loamy and poor soil, with the presence of rounded stones. A vineyard with a good balance between vigor and production, and late ripening, which favors grape quality.

| Tasting notes | It has an intense, deep cherry-red color. The nose is dominated by aromas of ripe wild berries; in addition, interesting nuances of pepper, minerals, and balsamic notes appear. The entry on the palate is with a pleasant and silky tannin, which concludes with a high acidity, typical of the variety, very well integrated. Ideal for accompanying both meats and fatty fish. |
| Vinification | After a rigorous selection, the grapes are harvested in the morning in 20 kg crates, to preserve the condition of the grapes until they reach the winery. Subsequently, the grapes are traditionally destemmed and lightly crushed in the winery, retaining a high proportion of whole berries. Once in the tank, fermentation begins, lasting about 15-20 days, at a controlled temperature of up to 26ºC, and with native yeasts. Several pump-overs are performed daily to extract color from the skins. Once this process is complete, the wine is aged for 14 months in new French oak barrels with a medium plus toast. Finally, it is bottled to complete its refining process before being released for sale. |
| Recommendation | For gifting. There are only 6,956 bottles. |
