2022 Mauro Terreus

The 2022 Terreus Cima de Cueva Baja has the spicy nose that made it famous. It's a blend from an exceptional lieu-dit at 800+ meters above sea level where the old vines deliver 3,500 kilograms of grapes per hectare. It fermented destemmed in stainless steel, where it also underwent malolactic. The élevage was in French oak barrels and lasted for 20 months. It has notes of ripe berries, aromatic herbs and that creamy and spicy twist. It's suave and full-bodied, with very fine and elegant tannins, and it's juicy and silky, filling your mouth, with clean and focused flavors that last for a long time. It's very fine-boned, exceptional for the conditions of the vintage. 10,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2024.
