Terrae Finca La Dehesa Bodegas Tempore 2022
Terrae Finca La Dehesa Bodegas Tempore
The color of this wood-aged garnacha blanca is bright light straw to golden yellow. It is pure and fragrant in terms of intensity. The aromas are fruit, such as pear, peach, mango and citrus, as well as something like spring blossom and subtle wood tones. The attack in the mouth is fresh, slightly of grapefruit, also the softness of peach and a fresh minerality. The wine also has something spicy. The wine is dry in taste, has little acidity and an average flavor intensity. The wood aging is also subtly reflected in the taste. The wine is well balanced, has freshness and a soft, long aftertaste.
The vineyards of Finca La Dehesa are located at an altitude of 560 meters. The lime/clay soil stores water in winter and spring, so that the vines have sufficient reserves in the hot summer. The harvest takes place in the first half of September. Vinification: cold skin maceration and then fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on the lees for 4 months in 500 l. French oak casks.
Bodegas Tempore was born from the Yago Aznar family's passion for wine. And that has been going on for four generations! In 2002, the Yago Aznar family decided that the time was right to produce their own wines from the seventy hectares of vineyards in Lécera, in the heart of the Sierra de Arcos, an inhospitable sub-area of Bajo Aragón.
In addition to a passion for wine, the family has a great respect for the land. They have chosen to plant only indigenous grape varieties, such as garnacha, tempranillo, macabeo and garnacha blanca. The vines are much older than the winery itself. The old, sometimes 70 years old, garnacha sticks are among the young plantings. The vineyards are located on a plateau, approximately 550 meters above sea level. The days are warm, but at night it cools down considerably. This ensures that the grapes ripen evenly and retain their acidity. There is no more than 300 mm of precipitation per year. All Bodegas Tempore vineyards are certified.
Paula and Victor Yago Aznar, brother and sister, are the ones who run the family business where the parents and their families are also active.
The Generación wines are the result of the knowledge accumulated over the generations, which come together in this.
