2018 Dominio del Aguila - Ribera del Duero Canta La Perdiz (750ml)
Price: $425.00
In Mixed Case: $382.50
Domino del Aguila is a top-notch Spanish producer that has been making waves among connoisseurs and critics. We only receive a small allocation of their very top wines. Canta la Perdiz comes from a single vineyard, with vines ranging between an insane 100-150 years old. The oldest vines are ungrafted: 90% of the vines worldwide are grafted so that they are resistant to phylloxera. Only a few places in the world can lay claim to having ungrafted vines- usually places more isolated where phylloxera never hit. The soil here is shallow, gravelly clay over fractured limestone bedrock. Canta la Perdiz has a softer structure than Peñas Aladas, so it requires less time in barrel (30 months) and displays a flamboyant aromatic and floral aspect that distinguishes it from the other sites. A compelling, elegant wine that feels fresh with supple tannins and real palate presence – truly world class and one of Spain’s most electric red wines.
