NOBBIS 2023

TERROIR

LOCATION

NOBBIS originates from a selection of vineyards located in Fuentecén, at the heart of the Burgos region of Ribera del Duero. This area represents the core and origin of the region, home to some of the most unique and distinctive vineyards

VARIETY

100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo).

ALTITUD

The vineyards are located at approximately 830 meters above sea level and about 30 meters above the Duero River, helping to avoid winter cold and excess humidity

VINEYARD

The vineyards are over 25 years old and are predominantly planted in a traditional bush vine system (en vaso). All the vineyards come from a massal selection that has been carefully cultivated over the years. This means that the planting material does not come from a nursery but from older vineyards, preserving the heritage and unique characteristics of the region

SOIL

Hay un gran nivel de heterogeneidad pero proncipalmente hay alcillas con altos niveles de carbonato cálcico y cantosd rodados en la superficie.

CLIMATIC YEAR

In 2023, temperatures were above average, and rainfall was irregular. From January to August, minimum and maximum temperatures were between 1 and 5°C higher than usual, with peaks in April and June. September and October maintained minimums 2 to 3°C above normal. Rainfall was uneven: November and December 2022 exceeded the average, but April and May 2023 were below, with less than 30 mm. The harvest was brought forward due to the rapid ripening of the grapes, resulting in a high-quality crop despite frost and hail.

• Average yield: 2,870 kg/ha

WINEMAKING

HARVEST

Harvested during the week of October 17th. A selection is made from the vineyards owned and cultivated by TresPiedras. This selection, representing the top 10% of our production, is hand-harvested and carefully sorted at the winery

Fermentation at low temperature in stainless steel tanks with gentle punch-downs to achieve a controlled extraction of noble compounds from the skins. Malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels. No stems are used, and pressing is kept very light

Visual: Deep cherry red color, clean and bright, with high intensity.

Nose: Good intensity, with elegance and finesse at the forefront. Abundant red fruit, creamy and delicate yet highly fragrant. Subtle toasted notes from the oak. Extremely low astringency.

Palate: Balanced, smooth, slightly lactic, with good acidity and persistence. Fruity and a true representation of Tempranillo vineyards in the Ribera del Duero region.

• Aging: 11 months in French oak barrels.
• Limited production: 31,412 bottles.
