PINEA is born of the founders desire to make a wine on a par with the world's finest. Its name is inspired by a beautiful and majestic Pinus Pinea tree, which is probably one of the oldest and tallest in the region. Surrounded by old vines, it has been witness to centuries of history. PINEA is a hand-made, artisanal wine made with the heart. Crafted with care and respect for its origins, it also faithfully reflects the terroir and the passion of everyone involved in its creation. It is made from old vines, grown on clay-loam terrain at high altitude. The Pinea winery is characterized by its minimal intervention approach to precision viticulture, key to ensuring that the grape is able to express itself fully. PINEA is aged in and blended from new fine-grained French oak barrels of medium toast, which respect the fruit during the aging process. Perfection is sought at each and every stage of winemaking, in order to successfully create a wine in which fruit plays a leading role, integrated with the complexity of oak. A unique wine. Elegant. Subtle. Perhaps one of the very best in the world

Tasting Notes

Appearance: The 2017 vintage of PINEA has a deep ruby red color with a garnet rim and high and deep layers. It is clean and bright. Nose: A grand melange of aromas from our fruits and exquisite barrels lead to the soft woody depth of spicy tones. The opulent and majestic base reveals abundant tannins and boldness in fruit that makes it remarkably generous for near-term drinking but that will also reward patient cellaring. Palate: a powerful and elegant approach that is velvety and rich from start to finish. Excellent body with abundant but not overpowering tannin and well integrated alcohol, achieving a perfect balance on its journey through the front, mid and back palate before a long, savory end. Upon entry, leaves flavors of black forest fruits, blackberries and spices such as clove and black pepper. It has a long and harmonious aftertaste and a smoky finish that gives it great length. A round, complex and balanced wine that highlights the maximum potential of Tempranillo at its very best.
