Pago de los Capellanes Doroteo

The most extraordinary wine from Pago de los Capellanes, Doroteo is grown on a single plot of Tinto Fino vines planted in 1920 on the high plateau of Pedrosa de Duero in Ribera del Duero DO. Fewer than 5,300 bottles are made each vintage. Native yeast fermentation is followed by 36 months in fine-grain French oak and at least two further years of bottle ageing before release. The result is profound and long-lived: dark plum, cedar, graphite and dried violet on the nose, with a palate of extraordinary density and poise. A wine for slow-roasted lamb, aged cheese or quiet reflection. Exclusively imported in Malta by Briffa Wine Selections, with free delivery on orders over €30.
