It was selected by a jury of international experts in a blind tasting from among more than 11,000 wines submitted each year.

Our 2017 Viento red wine was awarded the Silver Medal at the prestigious Mundus Vini competition, where an international jury of winemakers, sommeliers, distributors, and wine journalists conducted a blind tasting of more than 11,000 wines submitted each year. Mundus Vini began 18 years ago in Germany and is held twice a year, in August and February. Since its inception, it has been one of the world’s most important competitions, founded with the goal of providing a forum where producers, consumers, and distributors can compare and learn about different wines. The tasting is conducted blind, and the jury members do not know the names of the wines. The wines are grouped during the tasting according to their category, origin, quality level, and flavor profile.

THE 2017 VIENTO WINE Viento is part of the La Piel de La Vid line, which features single-varietal wines from a single vineyard. It could almost be called a “Member’s Wine”.

Production

The vineyard is located in Caudiel at an elevation of 670 m, with sandy-clay soil. The grapes are harvested by hand into 15-kg crates, destemmed, and placed in stainless steel tanks. Pre-fermentation maceration takes place at a low temperature, followed by fermentation at a constant temperature with light pumping over. Gentle extraction. Aged for 4 months in French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes

Cherry red color with bluish hues, a vivid and intense color characteristic of the variety. Distinctive aromas typical of the variety, with subtle floral and red fruit notes—blackberries, red currants, and cassis. Light smoky and spicy hints. On the palate, it exhibits light, perfectly integrated acidity, freshness, and smoothness. An easy-drinking, approachable wine, it stands out for its balance of acidity and alcohol and its silky texture. It is a wine with a very interesting evolution. It opens up on the palate as it is exposed to oxygen and develops delicate nuances.
