Winemaker Notes
Glass-staining ruby. Highly expressive, mineral-accented cherry and blackberry aromas are complicated by suave floral, vanilla and Asian spice nuances. Sappy, sweet and broad on entry, then more taut in the middle, offering densely packed black and blue fruit flavors that slowly become spicier and more energetic as the wine opens up. Shows a sweet fruitcake quality on the extremely persistent, oak-spiced finish, which is framed by fine-grained, harmonious tannins.-- Josh Raynolds.
Wine Information
Juan Carlos Vizcarra, known for his intensity and ambition, was the first in his family to produce estate-bottled wine in northern DO Ribera del Duero, starting in 1991. His family has grown grapes in the region for over four generations. As a boy, Juan Carlos noticed that prestigious estates like Vega Sicilia and Pesquera would source fruit from his family's vineyards during poor vintages, highlighting the exceptional quality of their terroir. Motivated by this, he began crafting wines to express this unique heritage. Juan Carlos and his wife have two daughters, Celia and Inés. The flagship wines of the Vizcarra estate, named after his daughters, are produced in limited quantities of 2,100 bottles annually. These wines come from a single, steeply sloped vineyard with some of the oldest vines on the estate. At Bodegas Vizcarra, all wines, including Inés, are made using gravity-fed winemaking to preserve the freshness and elegance inherent to the limestone-rich vineyards in northern Burgos. Juan Carlos’s meticulous approach ensures that these wines are meant for aging, capable of improving for at least 20 years in the bottle.
