Digma Tempranillo 2021

Alcoholic fermentation lasted 10 days, followed by maceration with the skins for 15 days in French oak vats. Automatic temperature control was maintained, with a maximum of 26 degrees Celsius. Gentle pump-overs and manual punch-downs were performed as needed each day. The wine was then transferred to new French oak barrels for malolactic fermentation, with stirring (batonnage) every two days. Aging continued for a further 18 months in the same new French oak barrels. The wine then rested in stainless steel tanks for an additional 6 months, where natural stabilization through settling was completed. Following this, it began its bottle aging process.

Impeccable cherry color, showing no signs of evolution due to its youth and aging in a cool cellar. A torrent of primary aromas, a consequence of cultivation in an extreme climate. Very ripe fruit: blackberries, raspberries, licorice. Underlying these are aromas of the undergrowth, such as fennel, thyme, and lavender. The fine oak used in its aging further complicates an already exuberant aroma, with cinnamon, vanilla, and spices that blend seamlessly with the primary notes. Powerful on the palate, unctuous and full-bodied, with noble, sweet, and ripe skin tannins. A very elegant wine, smooth and well-rounded, with body but without losing any of its fruitiness or youthful character. Ready to drink and cellar.

This wine comes from a selection of the best grapes from our 47 hectares of vineyards and is only produced in exceptional years. Our vines are located on the southern slopes of the Obarenes Mountains, in clay-limestone soil, between 500 and 700 meters above sea level, with a north-south orientation. They are trained on trellises, with a planting density of 3,200 vines per hectare, and are dry-farmed. The vines are cultivated using integrated production methods, without the use of herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or systemic pesticides, achieving ideal ripeness of the grapes and their skins, as well as the utmost respect for the environment. Many green tasks are carried out, such as shoot thinning (removing new buds), bud removal (removing buds older than one year), leaf removal, and grape thinning, always seeking maximum exposure to wind and sun, improving the microclimate at the cluster level, and adjusting production to the required quality. Harvesting takes place in 20-kilo crates, with manual sorting on a sorting table to ensure the highest quality. At the 2025 London Wine Competition, our DIGMA 100% Tempranillo 2021 received an award.
