Baron de Chirel - Viñas Centenarias 2022

Barón de Chirel Verdejo Viñas Centenarias is a unique wine, both because of the meticulous attention to detail during its growing cycle and the subsequent vinification process.

It is made from very old, pre-phylloxera vines over 100 years' old, from the districts of Aldeanueva del Codonal and Aldehuela, in Segovia. These ungrafted vine stocks are bush pruned and harvested by hand. It is also aged on the lees for 8 months in small, Austrian Stockinger oak vats.

This all goes to make for a superb wine, with freshness, energy and body, which receives its name as a tribute to Carlos Hurtado de Amézaga y Zabala, who modernised the family business during the post-war years.

Appearance: Deep ruby red with intense violet reflections, signaling the richness and youthfulness of the wine.

Nose: Complex aromas of ripe red fruits, black cherry, plum, with subtle notes of spice and flowers, creating an elegant and refined bouquet.

Palate: The wine offers a long, dense mouthfeel with a silky texture. Its natural acidity, resulting from high-altitude vineyards, perfectly balances the richness of the flavors, delivering a fresh and savory wine.

Food Pairing: Perfect with sauced fish, white meats, roasted lamb, aged cheeses, grilled vegetables, or dishes with dried legumes.

Serving Temperature: Best served between 16–18°C to fully appreciate its structure and aromas.
