Discover the essence of Ribera del Duero with our exclusive Arrocal Magnum Two Pack, featuring the distinguished vintages of 2020 and 2021. These two exceptional wines, crafted from Tempranillo grapes, are perfect for any occasion.

 

Arrocal Y el Asno Vio al Ángel is a roble oaked fine red wine with medium-high intensity and complexity. The wine is named after a book by the renowned singer and writer Nick Cave, paying homage to the inspirational music that has touched many. The wine labels feature the musical score from the beginning of one of his songs.

 

WINE MAKING

  • Each year, the grapes are naturally cultivated to showcase the unique offerings of each vineyard without intervention. The Tempranillo grapes are harvested from Arrocal's vineyards, which are over 40 years old. Each vintage of this wine originates from a different plot of land, allowing the winemaker to observe the changes in personality.
  • The wine-making process takes place during a harvest festival with friends and family. The grapes are harvested by hand using 16kg boxes.
  • 1/3 of the grapes are destemmed by hand.
  • The grapes are vatted with 66% stems.
  • The fermentation occurs in open tanks of 400kg using native yeast, beginning with the blended and crushed grapes along with the stems.
  • Daily caps are manually soaked by sinking the clusters once a day in 500kg boxes.
  • The second malolactic fermentation occurs in used barrels, followed by 5 months of ageing in 6-use French oak barrels.
  • The wine undergoes light filtering before bottling.

 

TASTING NOTES

  • Appearance: Cherry color with bluish reflections, medium depth.
  • Aromas: A highly perfumed nose with powerful hints of black fruit, liquorice, balsamic notes, a touch of spice, and a subtle influence of used wood reminiscent of new leather and sweet spices.
  • Palate: This red wine offers a smooth and harmonious taste with well-integrated silky tannins. It boasts a long finish with a fresh sensation, and a subtle sweetness. It is full, with a good acidity for depth, and a slightly velvety texture.
  • Pairing: Enjoy this versatile wine on its own or pair it with appetizers, tapas, white meat, pork, grilled poultry, vegetables, pasta, and meat platters. It pairs perfectly with fresh and semi-cured cheeses, as well as Iberian cured meats, and oily fish.
