As Caborcas 2023 Telmo Rodriguez

“As Caborcas 2023” is a wine created as part of a project that Telmo Rodríguez is carrying out in the terraced, north-facing shale vineyards of the Valdeorras region. In this vineyard, Tempranillo is grown alongside a blend of old vines planted on dizzyingly steep slopes. The 2023 vintage vividly showcases the distinctive characteristics of this high-altitude vineyard. The wine possesses the cool notes characteristic of shale soil and is distinguished by its tension rather than its heaviness. Aging is recommended. This wine is best enjoyed between 2026 and 2036. And don’t expect this Tempranillo to taste like a Rioja, instead, expect a flavor profile much more typical of Galicia. That is precisely what Telmo aims to achieve with this vineyard.
