96/100 RP | Drink 2026-2036. The single-vineyard 2021 La Estrada was produced with the field blend of grapes from a northeast-facing 0.64-hectare plot planted in the 1940s at 610 meters in altitude, one of the highest vineyards in the village of Lanciego. In 2021, they started harvesting the 10th of October. It fermented in 3,000-liter open-top oak vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in oak barrels and foudres for 14 to 16 months. It has 14% alcohol, all the 2021s have a little less alcohol, a pH of 3.67 and 4.57 grams of acidity. It has some spiciness and notes of flowers, herbs and wild berries, with contained ripeness, with slightly chalkier but firm tannins with tension, with a little more grip. This is a wine that ages nicely, and those "Italian" tannins get polished with time in bottle. This is their red with more Tempranillo, with a little Graciano and some white grapes but not much. 1,941 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023. The single-vineyard bottlings from Telmo Rodríguez are from the 2021 vintage, a year of very high potential for elegant and fresh wines.
