2014 Ucles Reserva 18 Months Oak Aged Finca La Estacada (Bottle - 1/75cl)

Finca La Estacada are making great wines in the sun drenched region of Cuenca, south east of Madrid, in the north-east of La Mancha, in one of the highest and coolest areas. The D.O. of Uclés is a very strict D.O. with yield restrictions based on the age of vine and the location in which they are planted.
Their wines are farmed at 850m elevation in clay soils with a lime substrate.  Thanks to the high elevation and calcareous influence from the lime, the wines are lighter and brighter than one might expect from central Spain. The viticulture at Finca La Estacada “transitioning organic,” the climate and land easily suitable for working without systemic chemical influences.
18 months aging in American Oak and 7 months in bottle has helped create a complex red with polished tannins, with plenty of bottle age this is simply gorgeous Tempranillo.
