Only the second vintage of this very special wine made – and Peique’s top-rated wine ever. The Wine Advocate says:
The 2022 Tesín de la Campana is the second year for this wine. It is produced with the grapes from an old plot that is 70% north-facing on clay-rich soils and the rest south-facing on sandier soils. It fermented with full clusters, 100% in this case, in used open-top 500-liter oak barrels, where the wine later matured for one year. This year it's riper, reflected by the 13.5% alcohol, 3.58 pH and 5.1 grams of acidity. But it's still elegant and balanced, with depth and complexity. It opened up nicely in the glass to floral aromas, becoming more and more focused, with good depth and mid-palate. 876 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2024.
A truly monumental Bierzo red. And as critics and professionals have said, this is not only up there with the greatest Spanish reds, but also the greatest Rhones and Burgundies.
As you know, we get a lot of great deals on wines…but I have rarely ever seen an “opportunity” like this.
