Loess Inspiration 2018 Red Wine

Elaboration

Some wines are planned for years. Loess Inspiration arrived in a moment. During a blending session for Loess Crianza 2012, the winemaking team encountered a combination that belonged to its own wine — something younger, more immediate and more fruit-forward than the Crianza, but carrying the same quality and terroir conviction that eighteen years of accumulated winemaking experience had built into every decision Loess makes. That moment of recognition became the Inspiration range. Built from six carefully selected vineyards in Roa, Burgos — purchased directly from the terroir when the project began in 2001 — hand-harvested in October when altitude-cooled ripening gives the Tempranillo its characteristic good acidity and varietal depth, then aged nine months in excellent French oak barrels of first to third use at light to medium toast. The result is a wine of immediate aromatic generosity, pleasing texture and the complex, honest finish that a winery driven by quality rather than formula consistently delivers.
