The wine

The Rapolao from Dominio de Anza is one of those wines which justifiably rests on its own laurels, conveying its vitality with every sip. It’s floral, with a complex aromatic array, elegant and showing great purity. Compared with the neighbouring wines from this exceptional site, this Diego Magaña one proves rather more juicy.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The 2022 Dominio de Anza Finca El Rapolao fermented in three separate parts, as he harvested (earlier) over three different times. He only used an average of 20% full clusters (but different percentages depending on the different zones of the vineyard. It has a moderate 12.8% alcohol and a sensation of harmony, elegance and freshness on the palate that is remarkable for the very warm year. In this warm vintage, he aged the wine in three 500-liter barrels for a little under one year. It has very fine, chalky tannins. 1,930 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2023.

Winemaking

The amount of destemmed grapes or bunches with stalks will vary depending on the vintage year. In warmer years, Diego reduces the usage of stalks whereas in cooler ones he uses more pure whole grapes to gain structure.

Vineyards

El Rapolao

Rapolao is a special site located in the coolest area of the town of Valtuille de Abajo, situated at an altitude of 500 metres and facing northwest. The vines, grown in bush form, are primarily of the Mencía variety, with small amounts of Estaladiña, Garnacha Tintorera and Sousón. The deep soils are a combination of stones and iron-rich red clay, and the grapes ripen late, enabling them to soak up aromas from the woods which surround the vineyards, and result in highly perfumed wines that have delicate tannins.
