Aroma: dark plum, blackberry, tobacco, cedar

Palate: cassis, dried herbs, roasted wood, minerality

Structured Reserva from the Hontangas plateau with dark plum, tobacco and cedar from 20 months in French oak; the chalk-clay terroir contributes a mineral backbone.

What it pairs with

  • Roast suckling pig (cochinillo asado)
    The wine's firm structure and dark fruit lift this quintessential Castilian dish.
  • Grilled lamb ribs with herbs
    Herbaceous notes in the wine complement the seasoned lamb ribs.
  • Manchego viejo
    Aged hard cheese amplifies the wine's mineral thread.

History

The Hacienda Solano Reserva represents the estate's extended-ageing tier from Hontangas, spending 20 months in French oak before further bottle rest. The high chalk-clay plateau above Aranda de Duero supports intense, age-worthy Tinto Fino.
