Finca Museum La Renacida Cigales 2023
£21.75
The wine
La Renacida revives the old Cigales tradition of field-blended reds, Tempranillo with Garnacha and a little white Albillo Mayor. The result is fragrant, fresh and distinctive.
Red cherry, raspberry and floral notes lead a bright, medium-bodied palate. Juicy red fruit, a savoury edge and fine tannins close on a fresh, elegant finish.
A versatile match for charcuterie, roast poultry and grilled meats. Serve lightly chilled or at cool room temperature.
The producer
Finca Museum
View all Finca Museum winesFinca Museum is a leading name in Cigales, a small, historic appellation in Castilla y León on the banks of the Duero. Long celebrated for its rosados, Cigales is increasingly known for serious Tempranillo reds. Museum has done much to raise the region's profile.
The vineyards grow on stony, sandy soils under a harsh continental climate, with hot days and cold nights. Old bush vines of Tempranillo yield low quantities of concentrated fruit. Traditional field blends with local grapes remain part of the story.
The range runs from the fresh Cigales rosado and the Vinea Crianza to the flagship Museum Reserva and the characterful La Renacida field blend. Tempranillo leads, aged patiently in oak for depth. Each wine speaks clearly of its terroir.
Elegant, structured and full of character, Museum's wines reward at every level. They offer the depth of the Duero at very fair prices. This is one of the finest expressions of Cigales, a region on the rise.
