Finca San Martín

Defined by a very dry and warm climate, with a fast vegetative cycle. From May onwards, temperatures were consistently above average, accelerating vine development and ripening. The lack of rainfall until August ensured excellent sanitary conditions. A meteorologically demanding campaign, resulting in an early and extended harvest. The wines reflect intense and well-controlled ripening, with good color intensity and a defined aromatic expression, balanced and precise, with strong winemaking potential.

100% Tempranillo grapes selected from our Vallecilla, Camino de Laguardia, San Martinn I and San Martin II vineyards in the foothills of Sierra de Cantabria.

Hand-harvested in small crates, with cluster selection carried out in the vineyard. Grapes are transported to the winery, where both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations occur naturally. Aged for 16 months from February 2023 in barrels: 60% new American oak (crafted in-house) and 40% French oak (second-fill). Three traditional rackings by candlelight are performed, transferring the wine from barrel to barrel to naturally clarify and remove sediments, avoiding aggressive filtration. After stabilization, the wine was bottled in June 2025.

Deep cherry red with a garnet rim, clean and bright, with medium-high intensity. The nose shows notable intensity and clarity, dominated by ripe red and black fruits (raspberry, blackberry, blueberry, and red plum), well integrated with ageing notes: toasted coffee, vanilla, cocoa, sweet spices (clove), and a hint of licorice. Smooth entry on the palate, with a balanced mid-palate supported by well-integrated acidity that provides freshness and verticality. Fine, polished tannins with a silky texture contribute to a well-defined structure. Persistent finish, with a return of fruit and spicy notes.

Sausages, snacks, starters, hefty first courses and meats in general.
