Grape Variety: 50% Graciano, 50% Tempranillo
Denomination of Origin: D.O. VINOS DE MADRID
Wine-making: Graciano is the main character of this coupage, the first wine made with this variety in the whole Vinos de Madrid Denomination of Origin. A red variety considered as one of the symbols of Spanish Oenology because of its great potential to produce select wines and to give personality to other varieties due to its intense – but pleasant – organoleptic characteristics. Graciano is the best companion for our Tempranillo, adding a good acidity, great aromas, and longevity.
2019 vintage made alcoholic fermentation with it skins for 9 days in stainless steel tank. Then it went into our concrete vessels, where it did the malolactic fermentation and matured for 3 months. After that, it stayed in new oak French barrels for 10 months. Our priority was to search the perfect balance between the varietal characteristics and the complex notes from oak aging. La Intrusa was unfiltered bottled in September 2020.
The result is an exclusive wine – just 2400 bottles – which wants to show even more our terroir authenticity and our wine typicity.
Alcohol content: 13,5%
Tasting Notes: Garnet colour with purple reflections and deep intensity. Pronounced intensity in nose, it stands out the aroma’s progression in the glass: red matured fruit notes and black fruit evolve to more complex spice and balsamic notes, toffee, and vanilla. Long, large wine, and silky at the same time. Pleasant and persistent ending.
Pairing: Red meat, cold meat, or cheese. Also perfect for wildfowl or fish dishes with backed vegetables.
