Viñedos de Páganos Description
The plot of La Nieta 2019 was planted with Tempranillo in 1975 in Páganos-Laguardia. Like El Bosque, it was harvested by hand and rigorously selected grain by grain. It has a beautiful intense garnet color. On the nose it has fruit, both black and red, plums and ripe cherries. Very very expressive. In the mouth it is very powerful, with a different profile than what we are used to in La Nieta. Tasty, voluptuous and with thick tannins that give it structure and power. The set is accompanied by an extraordinary freshness and a delicate perfume from the barrel at the end of the mouth.
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
The perfumed and floral 2019 La Nieta, which comes from one of the four vineyards around the winery in the helmet of Páganos (Laguardia), is structured and powerful, from a warmer (and sunnier) year, with 14.2% alcohol and a pH of 3.6 and 5.9 grams of acidity. It also shows freshness and elegance, and with time in the glass, one could foresee the finesse that should come out as the wine absorbs the 16 months in new oak barrels with time in bottle, as this was bottled one year before I tasted it. It improved with time in the glass, and it should do the same with years in bottle. This is usually my favorite from the Eguren portfolio, but this time Marcos Eguren's Sierra Cantabria 2019 El Bosque stole the show. 5,000 bottles were filled in July 2021.
