Winemaker Notes
Ruby-red. Mineral-tinged raspberry, incense and floral pastille scents pick up a spicy accent with air. Juicy, sweet and seamless in texture, offering concentrated red fruit and spicecake flavors that put on weight as the wine opens up. The spice and floral notes carry through a long, energetic, focused finish shaped by silky, even tannins.-- Josh Raynolds.
Wine Information
Juan Carlos Vizcarra, known for his intensity and ambition, was the first in his family to produce estate-bottled wine in northern DO Ribera del Duero, starting in 1991. His family has grown grapes in the region for over four generations. As a boy, he noticed that prestigious estates like Vega Sicilia and Pesquera sourced fruit from his family's vineyards during poor vintages, highlighting their exceptional quality. Motivated by this, Juan Carlos began crafting wines to express their unique terroir and heritage. At Bodegas Vizcarra, the Senda del Oro is made using gravity-fed winemaking to preserve the freshness and elegance of the limestone-rich vineyards in northern Burgos. The name refers to the "golden mile," a local road connecting the famed estates of the appellation. Juan Carlos meticulously manages every facet of the winemaking process, farming by hand without chemicals to express the land's natural elegance and freshness. Oak is used to frame the fruit, supporting its power and freshness. While Senda del Oro is Vizcarra’s entry-level wine, it is crafted with the same exacting standards as his flagship wines, demonstrating world-class Ribera quality.
