Carrasviñas Dorado
Descrição
Bodegas Félix Lorenzo Cachazo elabora este vinho dourado de acordo com a tradição de Rueda: expondo o vinho aos elementos, a grandes contrastes térmicos, em garrafões de vidro. O resultado é um vinho especial, muito aromático, com sugestões de envelhecimento oxidativo e um sabor glicerílico, longo e envolvente.

Cachazo’s Dorado is made from a blend of Palomino (from one of the old vineyards that remains in the region) and Verdejo, aged for 24 months in demijohns and a further 24 months in used 300L barrels. The wine displays a pale golden colour with citrus peel, chamomile and marzipan aromas. It is welcomingly toasty with an elegant and vibrant palate that leads to a lick of almond on the finish. A wine that keeps getting better year on year. 2026-32. (Beth Willard)
Even though they told me the bottle of the NV Carrasviñas Dorado I tasted was the February 2025 bottling, there is nothing on the front or back label to make it identifiable as such, other than an obscure and difficult-to-read lot code printed over some writing. I just don't understand why they don't print this information clearly readable and make it possible for people to know what wine they are drinking and decide if they want a fresh bottle or one with more time in the bottle. Anyway, I'll keep insisting, because I think it's worth it to see how the creamy and nutty golden wine matures in bottle. It's a blend of 65% Verdejo and 35% Palomino with 15% alcohol; it was picked ripe and never fortified and has a pH of 3.2 and six grams of acidity. It aged in glass demijohn in an oxidative way, and it also had a short biological phase with flor, making it akin to a young-ish Amontillado. The wine is polished by two years in used 300-liter barrels. 2,000 bottles in this lot. (Luis Gutiérrez)
A Rueda Dorado that shows hints of almond to the sour dough, nori and yellow apples. Rich and dry with a sleek mid-palate and lots of yeasty flavors and apples. Drink now.
Complejo y potente. Singular y muy recomendable para los amantes de los vinos generosos. Gran trabajo
