{"product_id":"alfredo-maestro-vina-almate-2023","title":"Alfredo Maestro Viña Almate 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eViña Almate is a whole-bunch Tempranillo drawn from vineyards across the heart of the Ribera del Duero and bottled without additions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit is gathered from several villages on the high Duero plateau, mainly Nava de Roa and Moradillo de Roa in Burgos and Peñafiel in Valladolid. Alfredo Maestro harvested by hand in the third week of September and, unusually for the district, crushed and fermented the bunches whole with their stems, each plot kept separate and started on indigenous yeasts in stainless steel. The fruit spent 12 to 15 days on skins with daily pump-overs, a short maceration by Ribera standards, aimed at aroma and drinkability rather than extraction. The wine was racked to tank for a malolactic fermentation that ran over 20 to 30 days, then racked again and allowed to settle before bottling in December of the following year. No corrections or additions were made, and there is no oak: this is Ribera Tempranillo stripped back to fruit and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrinking well now and for around six years. Serve at 16–18°C with roast lamb, grilled beef or a hearty bean stew.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
