Solideo 2021

Dense and almost impenetrable, the wine lies in the glass – a deep, dark ruby with a violet core and an inky rim. Even when swirled, its viscosity is evident: slow, rich "church window" legs unequivocally announce its extract density and ripeness.

Nose: like a walk through an old library with a cigar lounge – toasted oak, cigar box, vanilla bean, and dark chocolate, with plum, blackberry, and black cherry. In the background: liquorice, cinnamon, and damp earth, almost mystical, with a subtle depth.

On the palate, it flexes muscles in a tailored suit: powerful, silky, and with a firm grip. Ripe tannins meet dark fruit, fine dark chocolate, and tobacco smoke. Everything is in place, nothing is obtrusive. Little acidity, much structure – a wine with a lasting impression and posture, not for everyday sipping.

Produced only in exceptional vintages, the Solideo matures in American and French oak – with a delicate touch. The wine comes from vines over 40 years old, growing in calcareous gravel soils along the Duero. Selective harvesting and long barrel aging bring depth, finesse, and timelessness to the glass.
