Avan Oak is a red wine produced by Bodegas y Viñedos Juan Manuel Burgos in Fuentelcésped (Burgos), D.O.Ribera del Duero.
Bodegas y Viñedos Juan Manuel Burgos was created in 1996 by Juan Manuel, although his ancestors were already dedicated to the wine industry. It was in 2000, after he planted new vineyards cloning the vines that his grandfather had planted, when the first AVAN crop was born.
The climate in this area is Mediterranean but with a continental character, marked by moderate-low rainfall, dry summers and long and harsh winters. We also have to point out the large temperature variations between seasons.
Bodegas y Viñedos Juan Manuel Burgos only applies natural treatments in the vineyards, which are guided by the phases of the moon. In the winery, the treatments are also natural, with a minimum addition of sulphur dioxide during the winemaking process. They are not adhered to the "crianza" or "reserva" of the regulatory body either, as they say that, each year, every wine needs its own ageing time.
Avan Oak is a young wine made from Tempranillo , from the youngest vineyards, which are between 10 and 20 years old.
The grapes are manually harvested and selected in the winery on a vibrating selection table. The fermentation and the maceration are performed in stainless steel deposits. The wine is aged for 4 months in French oak barrels. It is bottled without filtering. On its label, we can read OAK (referring to oak wood).
On the nose, it stands out for its aromas of ripe strawberries and cherries, accompanied by subtle spicy notes. On the palate, it is fruity, balanced, and flavourful, with a smooth profile that makes it very pleasant to drink.
Grapes: 100% Tempranillo
