César Príncipe, DO Cigales. From vineyards of 70 to 100 years old across the El Negral, La Parada, La Majada and El Velero plots, on gently sloping hillsides. Soils of clay and sand at depth with abundant pebbles on the surface. 100% Tempranillo. Magnum 1.5 L.

Aged 14 months in oak barrels.

PARKER: 91+

The 2007 Cesar Principe is also 100% Tempranillo sourced from 2 single vineyards with 60+ years of age. It was aged for 16 months in new, mostly French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it sports an already complex aromatic array of Asian spices, violets, espresso, mineral, black cherry, and blackberry that jumps from the glass. Dense, ripe, and plush on the palate, it is able to combine power with elegance. It has plenty of succulence, impeccable balance, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will be at its best from 2013 to 2027.

vinaris: 93

This César Príncipe 2007 has evolved really well, a pleasant surprise. Tasted in magnum (which makes the wine evolve more slowly in the bottle), this Tempranillo is now in all its fullness, on the nose it gives off abundant tertiary notes, ripe, silky ... a delight. We hope to age just as well.

Learn more about César Príncipe

The winery carries the name of the father of the man who built it. Eutiquio, the grandfather, passed all his winemaking knowledge to his son César Príncipe; and it was César's son, Ignacio, who laid the foundations of the winery as it is known today, in 1982, and gave it his father's name.

The house stands in the highest part of Fuensaldaña. In the nineties they made the jump from selling the classic clarete in bulk to bottling it, and the turning point came in 2000 with the wine that bears the house's name: it scored 94 Parker points in its first vintage and put the reds of Cigales on the map, in an appellation known until then for its clarete.

The wine is 100% Tempranillo from vineyards between seventy and a hundred years old, on gently sloping plots. The soil is clay and sand at depth, with abundant rolled pebbles on the surface, and ageing runs fourteen months in oak barrels.
