Gotas de Santurnia is a 2011 Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain. The name means "the drops" and the grapes come from La Torca, a vineyard of 80 to 100 year old vines, all gobelet trained and dry-farmed. The vines are not replaced when they die, so this wine will eventually cease to exist. It is fermented and aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels. The nose is expressive and mineral, with ripe fruit that carries onto the palate and powerful tannins. Only 1000 bottles were produced.
Viña Santurnia is the label of Bodegas Ramon de Ayala in Briñas, a village of about 250 people in Rioja Alta. Tomas de Ayala founded the family estate in 1853, and it is now in its fifth generation. They farm 30 hectares organically, about 80% of it Tempranillo, across Briñas, Haro, Rodezno and Labastida. Gonzalo manages the vineyards and his uncle Ramon makes the wines.
