100% Petit Verdot.
An international jury has awarded the Grand Gold Bacchus to Dehesa del Carrizal’s Petit Verdot 2010, a distinction which is equivalent to being chosen as the world’s best wine. More than 1600 wines from each of the five continents competed for the current edition of the award. The Bacchus awards panel, composed of sixty of the most renowned sommeliers in the world, has awarded the Grand Gold Bacchus to the Spanish wine.
Petit Verdot 2010 derives from a grape deep-rooted in Bordeaux which, due to its long ripening, fits perfectly in the particular climate of the Dehesa del Carrizal estate, which is located in the Montes de Toledo, by Cabañeros National Park. This wine presents an intense cherry red colour with hints of blue. On the nose it reveals notes of berry, liquorice and also balsamic notes. On the palate the attack is fresh and smooth, with the concentration of ripe tannins appearing a little later which derives in a long, full finish. Graphite, the main mineral characteristic in Petit Verdot, is present all the way through. It can be kept in the cellar for up to 10 years. To experience all its nuances it is best served between 15º and 16ºC.
Goede combinatie met rood vlees, gevogelte, pasta, jamon en harde kazen.
Serveren op 16º C.
Al op dronk, maar kan zich tenminste tot 2016 nog verder ontwikkelen.
Wikipedia:
Dehesa del Carrizal is one of only 13 Vino de Pago existing in Spain as of 2010. This is the highest category on the quality scale of Spanish wines and means that in addition to having a proven track record of consistent quality, the wines have to be both produced from estate-grown grapes and also have to be processed and aged in a winery (bodega) located on the estate.
This Vino de Pago is located in Retuerta del Bullaque in the region of the Montes de Toledo, Ciudad Real Province, Spain
The first vineyard was planted back in 1987. Today the vineyard surface is about 28 hectares. Grape varieties planted are Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Tempranillo and Chardonnay. Its Cabernet Sauvignon is well known as one of the finest Cabernets ever made in Spain. As well as its Chardonnay.
