About This Wine
50% Tempranillo and 50% Garnacha blend. This perfumed and fleshy red comes from a single vineyard of 30 year old Tempranillo and Garnacha bush vines grown on granitic sand and clay, at 670 metres elevation in the Navalcarnero subregion (one of the three that make up the D.O. of Vinos de Madrid). Maestro has managed this parcel organically since 2002. The name A Dos Tiempos meaning 'at two times', comes from the fact the vineyard is harvested twice, as much as three weeks apart.
All the fruit is destemmed, fermented with wild yeasts in vat, before blending and maturation occurs over six months in mature French oak barrique and hogsheads. There is never any new wood. The 2016 is a silky, vibrant wine dripping in aromas and flavours of blackcurrant jubes, red rose and violet. There's significant flavour impact but not at the expense of finesse and freshness. As the late, great Mr. Morrison once sang, "love me two times"!
