  • TASTING NOTE: The 2006 has a heightened red tea note, and really great fruit depth, as you would expect from this opulent vintage. That said, it’s classic Urbina house style: all that red note, vegetal, dry mulch and cedar forest cold air perfume. There’s tobacco with clovey woodiness, licorice and orris root, and earthiness both ‘shroomy and mineral. It’s delicious, savoury and rounded with lovely tea tannin stripes.
  • ABOUT THE WINE: The top-quality grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Cuzcurrita del Río Tirón, in the westernmost part of Rioja. The 75 hectares of vineyards grow on limestone sand and produce Tempranillo, Mazuelo, and Graciano. The 2006 vintage was considered good to very good, with favorable or manageable conditions throughout the season, from budburst to harvest. The wine underwent wild yeast fermentation and was aged for 12 months in American and French oak barrels, with no filtration before bottling.
  • ABOUT THE PRODUCER:  The winery, with 150 years of winemaking history, is located in Cuzcurrita del Río Tirón. The original vineyard, planted by Salvador Urbina in the 1870s, is still in use today. In 1986, Salvador Urbina, the founder's grandson, modernized the winery. Part of the vineyard is bush trained, while the rest is cordon trained, with yields kept between 5,000 and 6,500 kg/ha. Their viticulture follows sustainable farming principles, and they produce classic Rioja wines. The Spanish Acquisition
