2019 Dominio de Calogía Tinto

Is Dominio de Calogía the new Pingus? All signs point to this because if José Manuel Perez Ovejas, who has been the oenologist of Viña Pedrosa for more than 25 years and then releases his own wine in 2018, this will of course be closely monitored. To produce a great wine, it takes great grapes and a state-of-the-art winery,” said José Manuel Pérez Ovejas, a leading winemaker in Ribera del Duero. After leaving Hermanos Pérez Pascuas, the family winery, he founded for himself and launched Dominio de Calogía.2019 is his first year.

The Dominio de Calogía is a 100% Tempranillo or Tinto Fino from old vineyards at the foot of the Cuesta Monvirgo in Roa de Duero, one of the best terroirs in Ribera del Duero. The grapes are picked at optimum ripeness. Very low yields of 4000kg/ha. Double manual selection on arrival of the grapes. Only native yeasts. Aging in French oak barrels for 14 months. The wine is made by the winemaker of the year 2018 namely José Manuel Pérez Ovejas and this new wine is already being bombarded as the possible new (flor) Pingus. In 2022, his single vineyard wine will also be on the market.

The Dominio de Calogía is bright dark ruby ​​red in the glass. In the nose an impression of everything Ribera del Duero and Tempranillo stands for: red and black fruit, cocoa, licorice, hint of spices, mineral notes. Very firm attack, but with sufficient freshness and elegance. Still very young. so be sure to decant. The 2019 also comes from a great year, so this Calogía has a storage potential until at least 2040.

The wines will be sold all over the world through an allocation system, so availability is very low. Maximum 3 bottles per customer.
