93points Decanter, Gran Oro Frankfurt trophy, 92 points Gilbert&Gaillard.

Roa de Burgos is where Viña Solorca is located and from where it has been making its wines in the traditional way for decades.
A great terroir is much more complex than one imagines. It is not only the sun, the earth, its natural ability to drain, to retain moisture (limestone, clay), its percentage of different elements that will make the soil warm or cold, rich or poor, balanced or insufficient. It is also their exposure on a hill, on a plateau or in a hollow, which makes these small places exceptional sites. At Viña Solorca wineries, the vineyard is located at different points along the riverbank, at an altitude of 800 to 900 meters above sea level on small hills facing the Duero and Gromejón river basins, which concentrate the warm summer temperatures, maturity increases and the soil is drained.
All these particularities contribute to the style of Viña Solorca wine, resolutely rich, complex and structured, due to the precocity of its terroir; but also elegant, distinguished, pure and very fresh thanks to the Tinta Fina and the perfectly balanced composition (limestone / sand) of its soils.
CATA'S NOTES
Deep garnet in color, it shows an intense layer and is very clean and satin. Unmistakable complex and spicy aromas, typical of aging in noble woods, make it evocative of toasted and balsamic nuances reminiscent of cocoa, coffee and licorice. Its nerve, breadth and good structure in the mouth make it dense and pleasant.

VARIETY
The quality of this wine is due to the use of 100% Tempranillo grapes, grown in glass and from our own vineyards with vines over 70 years old. Harvesting is done manually.
