After some ups and downs, the 2016 Cepas Viejas seems to be recovering the quality of yesteryear. The oak is much better integrated, the fruit is at the forefront, the aromas are clean and the texture is fine, with round tannins and very tasty flavors. It's good to see this wine coming back to what it once was. 120,000 bottles produced.

It is a classic wine (if we can apply the adjective here), perhaps somewhat rustic, which softens over time. It is produced in 60 hectares of vineyards with an average age of 60 years.
