La Poza de Ballestreros, produced by Bodega Artadi, is a soft and enveloping red, rich and broad, that is part of the collection of Vinos de Parcela from the Spanish winery. It is a single vineyard that highlights the peculiar characteristics of an exceptional terroir, which presents pedoclimatic characteristics particularly suited for Tempranillo. The remarkable concentration of the grapes contributes to giving the wine very dense and intense aromas, enriched by refined tertiary nuances derived from aging in noble woods. Juicy and broad, it captivates with a seductive sip and silky tannins, making it particularly suitable for pairing with roasted or grilled meats.
The red La Poza de Ballestreros is produced by the Artadi winery, an interesting and original reality located in the heart of the Sonsierra Alavesa region. The estate extends over 56 hectares divided into many plots, each with different and peculiar characteristics. No synthetic chemicals are used between the rows, and efforts are made to preserve the natural fertility of the soils and the environmental biodiversity. The wines are straightforward and express the terroir transparently without too many enological mediations. The cuvée is the result of a small plot of just over one hectare located in Elvillar de Álava with a westward exposure. The vines are about 60 years old and are planted in clay and sandy soils, resting on a gravelly and draining substrate. At the end of the harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation with skin maceration. The wine matures for a period of 9 months in oak barrels and ages for a few months in the bottle before being released on the market.
La Poza de Ballestreros is a great red made by Bodega Artadi to give voice to a company cru, expressing wines elegant and with good aromatic density. Visually, it presents a beautiful deep ruby red color with bright reflections. The olfactory profile is characterized by notes of ripe red fruit, cherry, currant, hints of humus and underbrush, spicy nuances and medicinal herbs, menthol and balsamic touches. On the palate, it is rich and soft, broad and intense with mature tannins well integrated into the body of the wine. The finish is fresh and has good taste persistence.
