Production:

The wine is whole-cluster fermented and matures slowly in the cold underground cellar for 12 months in French oak.

Tasting notes: 

Fresh and clean with fine aromas, perfumed with scents of red and black fruit and some floral hints. Medium-bodied, a very fresh style with marked dark fruit flavours, juicy tannins, and a very long and persistent finish.

Notes: Drinks beautifully now or can be stored for a long time.

THE WINERY

Jorge Monzón, the man behind this personal and unique project, can boast of a formidable CV when it comes to winemaking, an experience gained while working in such prestigious places as Romanée Conti, Vega Sicilia, and finally Bodegas Arzuaga, where he took charge of the viticulture and oenology side for 9 years. Dominio del Águila was created in 2010 by Jorge and his wife, Isabel Rodero, who together craft a small volume of fantastic wines using the fruit of old ecologically farmed vineyards in the 30 hectares in total which they own in the small village of La Aguilera, near Aranda del Duero. Their wines are remarkable for their freshness, powerful yet elegant and singular.
