Complex, full-bodied, elegant and well-structured wine but with a lot of ageing potential.
Deep violet-red with a bouquet of blackberry, dark chocolate and caramel. Luscious on the palate, with smooth tannins and black cherry, mocha,violet, liquorice and butterscotch flavours.
The result of a meticulous selection of vineyards, which gives rise to three old Tempranillo vines with silty-clay soil and a chalky base. The three vines are located in Laguardia, are goblet-grown, separately vinified and then assembled into an elegant and structured wine. UKAN is harmonious, complex, full of nuances and with great ageing potential.
The third vintage of UKAN was marked by a winter with high temperatures and a rainy early spring that boosted the vegetative growth of the vines. The summer started off moderately cold and wet, but then the temperatures and rainfall were normal for the summer season. A further drop in the thermometer in September resulted in a long ripening period, which, after the harvest, resulted in balanced musts with great aromatic intensity and freshness.
Ten oak vats were used for fermentation, four of which were destined for the production of undestemmed grapes. After spending sixteen months in barrels, the coupage of the vineyards was carried out in March 2022, resulting in a balanced and profound wine, with an infinite number of nuances and with a great future in the coming years.
