Casa Rojo 'La Malpagada' Albillo Mayor 2022
The 2021 vintage was an excellent vintage in Ribera del Duero. It began with abundant snowfall and temperatures below -20ºC. It was a blessed year with abundant spring rains and early bud break. However, the mild summer with low rainfall brought controlled vegetative growth. This year’s vintage produced wines with a high aromatic expression, sweet and pleasant in the mouth and with great cellaring potential. These are wines with a good balance between acidity and alcohol, with power and fullness.
The vines of more than 60 years old, from which our Albillo Mayor grapes come from, are located among Tinto Fino vineyards, as the locals traditionally planted in the area at that time. Located in the provinces of Soria and Burgos. From them we obtain limited yields that give rise to grapes of great oenological potential that after its delicate elaboration give us as a result a complex wine for aging.
Harvested by hand in 14 kg boxes, the grapes pass through a sorting table before pressing. Very limited yields will be obtained from the press, seeking maximum quality and minimum oxidation. Part of the must ferments in stainless steel tanks and the other part in French oak barrels. At the end of alcoholic fermentation at a very low temperature, the wine will be aged on its lees in 225-liter French oak barrels for at least 9 months. It is then clarified, lightly filtered and bottled. Finally, it will be aged in bottle for at least 12 months before release.

13% vol.
It is a creamy wine at first sight, with an elegant golden color, reflecting its barrel aging, with density and great volume. The nose has a complex bouquet of primary aromas of stone fruit and white flowers, as well as fermentation and aging aromas, with notes of nuts such as toasted almonds and aromas of bakery, brioche and honey. On the palate it is creamy, a gastronomic wine, with great volume and smoothness. Its characteristic acidity stands out, which will allow it to age well over time.
