In the 15th century, the chaplains of Pedrosa de Duero, in the Ribera area of Burgos, obtained several vineyards as payment for tithes, masses and prayers. Over time, that property became one of the most renowned pagos, or estates, of the town. A true jewel of local viticulture that locals baptised with a name directly related to its origin. Pago de los Capellanes was founded by the Rodero-Villa family in 1996. The 272-acre vineyard in the heart of Ribera del Duero is planted primarily to Tempranillo with a bit of Cabernet Sauvignon. Pago de los Capellanes produces a range of estate-bottled wines ranging from juicy, barely oaked reds to this age-worthy Reserva.
The nose has a fine complexity with tones of ripened fruit such as cherry, cassis and plum all harmonised by the wood and spice character (vanilla and cocoa) with undercurrents of liquorice. The palate displays great balance with glossy, mature tannins and elegant fruit character that echoes the nose. The finish is long and elegant.
A chilled pre-fermentation maceration occurs over 6 days at a temperature of less than 14 ºC. The fermentation then takes place over 30 days. The wine is then removed from the tanks without any pressing of the grape skins. Malolactic fermentation is slow at 20 ºC over 28 days. The wine is aged for 18 months in new French Oak Barrels and the wine is then bottled without any cold treatment, fining or filtration.
