Bodega VivaltuS : VivaltuS 2018
Castille y Leon - Ribera del Douero - Red Wine -VivaltuS 2018 is a great Ribera del Duero wine. The VivaltuS project consists of something completely new in Ribera del Duero; a different wine, elegant and fresh, hedonistic and long-lasting, highlighting the terroirs, landscapes and complexity of the vineyards in every bottle
Wine crafted by their winemaker Montxo Martínez with the expertise of Jean-Claude Berrouet (Petrus) acting as close consultant oenologist.
"I fell in love with the VivaltuS project from day one. Working hand in hand with the passionate Montxo Martínez is a real pleasure. VivaltuS is our new way of understanding Ribera del Duero. We have tried to develop freshness, sensuality, elegance, finesse, hedonism and longevity" (Jean Claude Berrouet, former winemaker at Petrus).
Tasting notes - VivaltuS 2018
This 2018 vintage represents a great qualitative leap forward in the VivaltuS project thanks to the optimal conditions of the vintage and the precise work of Jean Claude and his son Jeff Berrouet during the final blending.
Dress : Deep, intense red
Nose: Extraordinary nose of black fruit with hints of balsamic and spice, very complex, mysterious and seductive, with an explosion of aromas that gradually open up as the wine rests in the glass for a few minutes.
On the palate, we find a very elegant, silky, smooth wine of great complexity, having achieved a greater Atlantic component in this 2018 than in other warmer vintages, with magnificent acidity and freshness. All this gives us a sensation of balance, freshness and elegance, with a very long, hedonistic finish.
12bouteilles advice: Serve at around 18°C, enjoy it with a fine red meat or game
