La Sucursal ist der modernste Wein aus dem Hause Martinez Lacuesta und er wurde anlässlich des 125-jährigen Jubiläums des Weinguts geschaffen. Es ist ein kraftvoller, intensiver, energiegeladener Wein, der in limitierter Anzahl von ca. 6000 Flaschen und nur in den allerbesten Jahrgängen produziert wird. Die Flaschen sind schwer und hochwertig und sie sind nummeriert, verpackt in einem wertigen Einzelkarton. Der Name La Sucursal bedeutet „Filiale“ und ist eine Hommage an das Weinfachgeschäft des Weinguts in Madrid, das bereits 1904 eröffnet wurde.
- 93 Punkte TIM ATKIN MW, Rioja Special Report 2023: „Previously sold as Carmen 18 - you have to admit that the name is an improvement on what went before - this is a modern style that sees only new wood and does malolactic in barrel. It's a plush, textured Tempranillo with a winning combination of fine tannins, blackberry fruit intensity and chalky minerality. 2023-30“
- 92 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „Fresh blackberries on the nose, adorned by some sweet spices, blue flowers and slate. This is a bright and juicy Rioja, showing excellent balance and freshness. The medium-bodied palate is rounded off with silky but firm tannins. Drink now or hold.“
- Notizen des Weinguts: „Our wine with the most modern air. This wine originates in the older vineyards and only in special years. A limited edition of a potent, intense and energetic wine within a context that is nonetheless refined and subtle. A tribute to our Sucursal in Madrid, a branch which has been open since 1904. A wine created for the 125th anniversary of Bodegas Martínez Lacuesta. It is the best example of modernity for a winery with past stretching back more than a hundred years. This is an intense, potent wine with a long finish that is only produced in special years. A perfect example of how, throughout Martínez Lacuesta’s history, the winery has been able to adapt at every point that it has been called on to do so.
HARVEST: The weather enabled Good canopy development and an absence of pests and The disease made it possible for the grapes to remain in the extraordinary condition through the end of the harvest. This wine is defined by ist balance, intensity, aromatic quality and a magnificent phenolic ripeness, readily perceptible in the smoothness and roundness of its tannins. The Rioja Regulatory Board gave this vintage an official rating of Very Good.“

Notizen des Weinguts: | GRAPE VARIETIES: Tempranillo 100%. VINEYARD: Tempranillo grapes from our mainly north-facing vineyards outside Haro that are 50 years old on average. The clay- lime soils yield small bunches with loose fruit produce highly aromatic, complex and concentrated musts that are typical of these terroirs. ELABORATION: The grapes were hand-picked and packed in 20-kg boxes that were taken to the winery in refrigerated vehicles. Once there, they were cooled to a temperature of 4°C/39ºF for 24 hours before being carefully destemmed. The grapes were then barreled for nine days at a temperature below 10°C/50ºF – a cold maceration that brought its aromatic characteristics to the fore. Alcoholic fermentation took place in French oak vats, with malolactic fermentation occurring in the finest barrels of the same wood. After fermentation and maceration, the wine was passed into French oak barrels for a short 12-month ageing process. The wine was then decanted three times using traditional methods. |
