Dominio de Es La Diva
2017Spec sheet
The wine
La Diva is a veritable Grand Cru, a truly magnificent wine and the star wine from Bertrand Sourdais, a vigneron originating from the Loire who trained in some of Bordeaux’s most well-respected wineries, and one fine day came across long-forgotten lands in Soria and began to turn their grapes into exceptional wines, decidedly Burgundy in character. A serious and also delicate wine, which brings to mind Burgundy Grands Crus due to the primary character of its aromas, a floral, perfumed nose with a smoky nuance, and a palate which has the fruit’s full ripeness contrasting with a substantial freshness. There’s no doubt the price is out of the ordinary, but so is the extraordinary wine.
Drinking and storing
This wine needs time. Wait for at least three years to pass after its release before opening, and decant it for an hour ahead of serving. For drinking during the following 10 years.

Vineyards
La Diva comes from a small plot within the Valdegatiles single vineyard. Here, the sandy and chalky soils in the subsoil prevented the onslaught of phylloxera, and thanks to this La Diva is obtained from ungrafted vines. The climate at an altitude of 950 metres is harsh, but the vines withstand it, protected by small stone walls; the land is extremely poor, cultivated on a hillside, but all the effort is worthwhile when the rewards are so great.
