Nestled in the idyllic village of San Vicente de Sonsierra in Spain lies the renowned producer Lindes De Remelluri. Surrounded by a warmer and richer landscape, this winery boasts vineyards that span out into the valley, basking in the Mediterranean climate. Lindes De Remelluri's flagship wine, the Lindes de San Vicente, is a true reflection of this unique terroir.
Crafted with precision and care, the Lindes de San Vicente is a bold and robust wine with a distinct earthiness that is both intriguing and inviting. The grapes are carefully hand-picked and then fermented in 5,000L old French vats, allowing for a slow and controlled process. This is followed by 12 months of maturation in old French barriques, giving the wine an added depth and complexity.
Upon first sip, one is met with an explosion of flavours - open, spicy and more volatile than its counterparts. The warmth of the valley and the richness of the ferrous red soils are evident in every sip, leaving a lasting impression on the palate. The tannins, while firm and foursquare, have a pleasing blocky texture that is reminiscent of the rugged landscape of San Vicente.
But it is the distinct earthiness of the Lindes de San Vicente that truly sets it apart. Reminiscent of the countryside, this wine has a touch of chocolate on the palate, adding to its allure. The tannins, with their granular profile, perfectly balance the earthy notes, creating a harmonious and well-rounded wine.
For those who appreciate a countryside wine that truly captures the essence of its terroir, Lindes De Remelluri's Lindes de San Vicente is a must-try. With its open and spicy character, warm and earthy notes, and a touch of chocolate, it is a truly delicious wine that will transport you to the Mediterranean valley of San Vicente with every sip.
