Major producer Marqués de Cáceres sources Maturana from vines more than 60 years old growing on the slopes of the Sierra de Cantabria in Rioja Alta. The wine is fermented without pressing or crushing of the grapes, using native yeasts and gentle pumping-over. Malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels, followed by about 18 months' maturation in new and second-uses barrels. Chocolate and carob mingle with minty eucaplyptus and graphite notes from well-judged oak. Firm structure and tannins are balanced by ripe fruit and strong varietal character. Black forest gateau, raspberry and woody spicy notes create a bold and powerful wine with direct, vertical acidity. Will develop gradually over time. BW
