2018 Viña de Amalio, Cillar de Silos, Ribera del Duero, Spain

Description

Made from vines averaging over 75 years old, this single vineyard ‘Pago’ wine is rich, dark and rewarding. The nose and palate are brim-full of sweet blackberry fruit all supported by gentle touches of vanilla, liquid tannins and perfectly balanced freshness. The aroma and flavours move more into more savoury notes whilst a deeper, intense note of cured meat then comes through. The 2018 Viña de Amalio is an impressive wine which could be appreciated now but which would certainly reward cellaring to reveal its potential.
Catriona Felstead MW, Spain Buyer

Amalio is the wine in the Cillar de Silos portfolio which always captures my attention, this is no different. A great depth and complexity of fruit, due to the old vines no doubt, is framed by Oscar's judicious use of oak. Dark, spicy, already showing what feels like a foot thick mille feuille of texture, fruit, acid - all in great balance. This can, will and should be drunk now and very soon - it's a joyous, bouncing, great wine which is crying out for generous, heart-warming dishes - Breast of Lamb for me please! +.

About this wine

Tempranillo/Tinto Fino

A high quality red wine grape that is grown all over Spain except in the hot South - it is known as Tinto Fino in Ribera del Duero, Cencibel in La Mancha and Valdepenas and Ull de Llebre in Catalonia. Its spiritual home is in Rioja and Navarra where it constitutes around 70% of most red blends.

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero

In the last 30 years, Ribera del Duero has risen up to challenge Rioja for the crown of Spain's greatest wine region. Once known only as the home of Vega Sicilia, it now boasts numerous bodegas of outstanding quality, from Hacienda Monasterio to Cillar de Silos. The region was granted its DO status in 1982, and today has over 200 wineries and more than 20,000 hectares of vines.

Cillar de Silos

If one recalls one’s history, one will remember that it was the marriage of Ferdinand of Aragon and Isabella of Castile that set Spain on its road to unity. This is a somewhat whimsical introduction to Bodegas Cillar de Silos, which is located in the heart of Castille, Ribera del Duero to be precise, but owned and run by the brothers and sister team of Oscár, Roberto and Amelia Aragón. They also manage the El Quintanal Estate in neighbouring wine region Rueda and are thus perfectly located for both red and white wine making, demonstrating all that is great about, respectively, Verdejo and Tempranillo as grape varieties. The Aragóns define the House Philosophy with the words ‘purity, fruit, low yields, long ageing and hand selection’. The wines are finely crafted but demonstrably Spanish, which is good news!
