Hermanos Pérez Pascuas makes Cepa Gavilán in Pedrosa de Duero, a single-varietal Ribera del Duero Tempranillo. A crianza aged in French and American oak, it shows ripe black fruit, balsamic spice and a firm, structured palate.
Description
Hermanos Pérez Pascuas farms in Pedrosa de Duero, in the Burgos heart of Ribera del Duero, and Cepa Gavilán Crianza is the family's youngest and freshest red. It is a single-varietal Tempranillo, the grape known locally as Tinto Fino. Ribera del Duero sits high on the northern Castilian plateau, where hot summer days and sharply cold nights slow ripening, deepen colour and build the firm tannins that define the region's reds. The wine is aged as a crianza, twelve months in a mix of French and American oak barrels followed by a year in bottle. The two oaks work together, the French wood lending fine spice and grip and the American adding sweeter vanilla and toast, while the time in barrel and bottle softens the structure through slow oxidation. The colour is deep and dense. The nose opens with ripe black fruit, blackberry and blueberry, lifted by a spicy, balsamic edge. The palate is full and firm, with grippy tannins, dark fruit and a long, spiced finish carrying liquorice and earth. Serve at 17 to 18 degrees. It calls for roast and grilled red meats.
