Our wine with the most modern air. This wine originates in the older vineyards and only in special years. A limited edition of a potent, intense and energetic wine within a context that is nonetheless refined and subtle. A tribute to our Sucursal in Madrid, a branch which has been open since 1904.
A wine created for the 125th anniversary of Bodegas Martínez Lacuesta. It is the best example of modernity for a winery with past stretching back more than a hundred years. This is an intense, potent wine with a long finish that is only produced in special years.
The grapes were hand-picked and packed in 20-kg boxes that were taken to the winery in refrigerated vehicles. Once there, they were cooled to a temperature of 4°C/39ºF for 24 hours before being carefully destemmed. The grapes were then barreled for nine days at a temperature below 10°C/50ºF – a cold maceration that brought its aromatic characteristics to the fore. Alcoholic fermentation took place in French oak vats, with malolactic fermentation occurring in the finest barrels of the same wood. After fermentation and maceration, the wine was passed into French oak barrels for a short 12-month ageing process. The wine was then decanted three times using traditional methods.
A medium-high depth with a clean, bright cherry colour with a marked violet edge. Intense aromas with black fruit notes (blackcurrants, blackberries and Quetsche plums) combine with a subtle, amiable and intense bouquet of cloves, white pepper, liquorice and cedar. Very fresh and well-balanced with markedly polished tannins that foreshadow an clear suggestion of the terroir that is typical of Haro. Our most modern wine.
