Tasting Notes

The 2016 Finca Pena Lobera fermented in open-top used 500-liter oak barrels that were later closed; the wine matured in them and half of the wine was moved into concrete after malolactic and completed its ?levage there. In 2018 they did the same ?levage, as they didn't do this wine in 2017 because of the frost. This is my favorite wine from 2016, and I was able to see the vineyard, which is on sandy soils at almost 900 meters in altitude, a cooler place in the village of La Aguilera that produced a very perfumed wine, floral and exuberant, following the style of the 2014, which seems to be more the house style?fresh, elegant and with tension. The wine is very young but feels harmonious and relaxed. These cooler vintages seem to better reflect the house style. This is a great Ribera del Duero at a great price. 1,297 bottles and 75 magnums. It was bottled in June 2018.
