El Vino Prodigo Placeres Sensoriales Rioja 2022

Placeres Sensoriales (or sensory pleasures) is a wine about the fun and joy of delivering just that, i.e. sensory pleasure through wine. 100% Tempranillo, and 100% lo-tech, juicy, aromatic joy! This wine is made from foot-trodden grapes in ancient concrete vats in an even older winery built in the eleventh century.

The wine is completely old school, with a semicarbonic style, as some bunches are crushed by the feet and others remain intact. Savory blackberry and sweet leather notes on the nose, with fresh acidity, flavors of black cherry and tart plum, licorice, and thyme, buoyed by lifted carbonic notes.
