General Information
Made exclusively with Tempranillo grapes from Parcel 23 of Finca Constancia, one of the most unique plots of the winery due to its limestone soils, Finca Constancia Parcela 23 2022 is a red wine with a distinctly fruity profile and a subtle, well-judged touch of oak imparted by its fermentation and subsequent 6-month aging in new French oak barrels.
In the year 2000, following a meticulous study of the soils and climatic conditions of the area, the González Byass Group acquired a magnificent estate in the Toledo municipality of Otero, located between the Sierra de Gredos, the Montes de Toledo, and the basins of the Tajo and Alberche rivers. This marked the beginning of Finca Constancia, a winery with a cutting-edge design and integrated vineyard, inspired by the Bordeaux model, where its 200 hectares of vines are completely divided into parcels, forming its main hallmark.
As a result of this careful work, guided by control and precision in pursuit of the highest quality, its wines are born, of which Finca Constancia Parcela 23 2022 is an excellent example. A V.T. Castilla with a broad, smooth palate and balanced acidity that pairs perfectly with your red meat dishes, small game, and all kinds of cured cheeses or Iberian charcuterie.
Tasting notes
With a thin layer and thick tears, it displays a bright cherry red color with purple hues.
The nose is dominated by fresh aromas of red fruit with hints of liqueur, toasted notes, and aromatic herbs (menthol, licorice).
The entry on the palate is broad and pleasant. Its freshness comes from a balanced acidity, which, together with its perfectly integrated tannins, culminates in a finish with elegant and prolonged toffee notes.
The winery
The story of Finca Constancia begins in 2000, when González Byass acquired a 230-hectare estate located in the province of Toledo with the aim of establishing a winery in the style of a 'château,' with facilities and vineyards on the same property. Today, Finca Constancia boasts facilities equipped with the most modern technology, inaugurated in 2006 and surrounded by 200 hectares of vineyards planted in different stages, including 3 hectares of 40-year-old Garnacha vines discovered upon acquiring the estate.
An internationally oriented winery, present in more than 30 countries, which has received significant recognitions for its wines (over 90 points in Robert Parker's publication for its Finca Constancia and Altos de la Finca wines, and several Bacchus de Oro awards, as an example).
Finca Constancia dedicates an important chapter to research. Notable initiatives include the planting of an experimental garden to study the behavior of grape varieties in different soils and the experimentation with various cultivation and winemaking techniques. Its vineyards host a wide range of national and international grape varieties, harvested and vinified separately.
