Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2021 San Vicente showcases the completeness of the year with a rare combination of power and elegance, with intensity of fruit, clout and very good freshness and the roundness of the tannins from the year. It has a lot of everything; the selection of Tempranillo used for this wine gave a lot of color, notes of aromatic herbs and ripe berry fruit and a solid palate, but it's fine-boned, with a beautiful texture. It's still young but already shows incipient complexity. It absorbed the new oak (French and American) pretty early, and the aromas and flavors are very integrated. It should be very long lived. This is one of the finest vintages for San Vicente. 50,000 bottles. It was bottled in August 2023.

Description
San Vicente is a wine made in La Rioja Alta in San Vicente de la Sonsierra, specifically on the La Canoca estate. The vineyards from which the Vitis vinifera grapes are harvested were planted more than three decades ago, so they are still in their prime.
On the other hand, the soils in which the vines are grown are calcareous-clayey and this means that the grapes are forced to produce a good quantity of tannins, ideal for producing high quality wines!
Winemaking
Firstly, the grapes are harvested by hand, selecting only the best fruit of the hairy Tempranillo variety. The must is then extracted and fermented for ten days and macerated on the skins for 21 days.
Finally, the wine is aged in French and American oak barrels for approximately two years. In addition, each barrel is racked every four months in order to eliminate sediments and impurities and thus obtain a superior final product.
Taste
On the nose, this single varietal has an earthy and spicy aroma, with hints of wood. On the palate, it has ripe, powerful notes and a long, creamy finish. It is a fresh and fluid wine with an enveloping and elegant aftertaste.
A wine that will awaken your senses
For this and many other reasons, San Vicente is a wine that will not leave lovers of fruity and sweet accents, such as those offered by its bouquet, indifferent. Moreover, it is a completely organic product, without chemicals or pesticides of any kind, as the vineyards are cultivated following nature's own biorhythm.
Due to its characteristics, it is ideal for accompanying spicy stews based on meats with a complex flavour, such as veal or lamb.
And you, what are you waiting for to try it?
