Iñigo Amézola 2021

Íñigo Amezola is the winery’s most avant-garde blend. It comes from our best plot, San Quiles, located 550 metres above sea level. It is a commitment to Tempranillo and careful production in honour of the winery’s founder. It is a limited edition of 6,000 bottles.

Bottle size: 0.75 l.

Scores: 93 points Tim Atkin.

Vintage: 2021, for us one of the best vintages of this century, which gave us wines with great fruit expression, elegant and silky, and with a lot of body.

Varietal: 100% Tempranillo from San Quiles, the best plot located at an altitude of 550 metres. This vineyard has calcareous soil that produces wines with high acidity and long ageing potential.

Production: Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels and it is aged for 8 months in completely new French oak. During this time, we carry out two bâtonnages per week. We work with the barrels in two ways: either we shake them or we let them roll, but we never stir them. Colloquially, we refer to this as a “James Bond” bâtonnage… in the sense that it is “stirred, not shaken”.

Tasting notes: Intense violet colour. Aromas of blackberry and orange peel. Good density on the palate. Bright, velvety tannins. Very subtle wood, with great concentration for ageing.

Pairing: Pasta, rice dishes, well-roasted white meats or meats in sauce.
