Vinos La Zorra Raro 2020
92 Points Peñín Wines of Spain Guide 2020. A 100% mono varietal wine made from the rare Rufete grape which is championed by the winemakers at Vinos La Zorra. Every care is taken with the processing of the grapes for this wine, table sorting, de-stemming and then gentle pressing, all to preserve the wonderful aromatics of this grape variety. Fermentation then occurs in used French & American Oak medium toasted barrels before maturing in stainless steel for 8 months. The result, a bright and fresh wine with aromas of creamy oak, black fruit and herbs. It has a lovely structure without being overpowering and a long and pleasant finish. Such a beautiful discovery !

About the Producer
From the forested Sierra de Francia in the province of Salamanca, 250km west of Madrid, Mogarraz, is one of the most picturesque villages in Spain. Wine is in the blood of the Maíllo family, and it was the current owner, Agustin Maillo who turned the family cellar into the commercial producer of Vinos La Zorra whose passion, amongst others, is Rufete, a rare and an interesting indigenous grape variety from the Sierra de Francia and is the best guarded secret in the DO Sierra de Salamanca.
The Sierra de Francia has a long tradition of winemaking, and although the DO Sierra de Salamanca is relatively young designated wine region, wine has been made here for over 2000 years, and amongst the slopes of San Esteban, you can find pre-Roman cave presses.
