Wine profile · Red

Body

Level 4 of 5 — Full and broad – like single cream

In line with typical (3.8) · Typical: average of 711 reds at Vinogrande

What it is

Body is the weight and texture of the wine in your mouth. It comes mainly from alcohol, extract (everything dissolved apart from water), glycerol and, in sweet wines, sugar.

Where you feel it

Across the whole tongue: how much the wine fills your mouth. Think skimmed milk, whole milk and cream.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting sheet.

There is no single number for body. Labs measure dry extract (many wines are between 18 and 30 g/L) and alcohol, which WSET says has the biggest effect on body. Our scale rates the weight in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Light: fluid and delicate
  2. 2Medium−: light-ish
  3. 3Medium: rounded
  4. 4Medium+: broad This wine
  5. 5Full: dense and rich

In practice, for this wine

Wants dishes with structure: red meat, roasts, mushrooms, aged cheese.

Wine profile · Red

Tannin

Level 3 of 5 — Present – a gentle grip on the gums

In line with typical (3.2) · Typical: average of 708 reds at Vinogrande

What it is

Tannins come from grape skins, seeds and oak. They give red wines structure and ageing potential, and soften with time.

Where you feel it

On your gums, inside your cheeks and on your teeth: that rough, drying feel, like after strong black tea.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting sheet.

Labs measure total polyphenols (the TPI index), but that figure is rarely published. Our scale rates the amount and texture of the tannins in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: silky
  2. 2Medium−: soft
  3. 3Medium: present This wine
  4. 4Medium+: firm
  5. 5High: robust

In practice, for this wine

At ease with grilled meat and hard cheese.

Wine profile · Red

Acidity

Level 3 of 5 — Fresh and balanced – like a green apple

Below typical (3.6) · Typical: average of 702 reds at Vinogrande

What it is

Acidity is the wine's freshness: it gives energy, makes your mouth water and helps the wine age. Too little and it tastes flat; too much and it feels sharp.

Where you feel it

On the sides of your tongue, and in how much your mouth waters after you swallow. The more you salivate, the higher the acidity.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting sheet.

Labs measure total acidity (grams of tartaric acid per litre; most wines sit between 4.5 and 8 g/L) and pH (usually 3.0 to 3.8; the lower, the more acidic). Our scale turns that into how it feels in the mouth.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: soft, little freshness
  2. 2Medium−: gentle
  3. 3Medium: fresh and balanced This wine
  4. 4Medium+: lively, mouth-watering
  5. 5High: crisp, racy

In practice, for this wine

Versatile at the table: grilled fish, poultry, warm salads. Moderate chilling lifts the freshness.

Wine profile · Red

Alcohol 14.5% vol

Level 4 of 5 — Generous – warms the throat

In line with typical (4.2) · Typical: average of 716 reds at Vinogrande

What it is

Alcohol is made when yeast ferments the grape's sugar. It brings warmth, adds to the body and carries the aromas.

Where you feel it

As warmth in your throat and chest when you swallow, and a slight burn on the nose when it is high.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting sheet — On the label: 14.5% vol.

It is the one axis that is always measured: it comes from the % vol on the label. Still and sparkling wines: under 11% = 1, up to 12.4% = 2, up to 13.4% = 3, up to 14.4% = 4, 14.5% or more = 5. Fortified wines (Port, Madeira…) have their own scale: under 16.5% = 2, up to 18.4% = 3, up to 19.9% = 4, 20% or more = 5.

The 1–5 scale follows the WSET tasting grid. We start from the producer's technical sheet and Vinogrande's tasting notes, plus measured data where it exists, such as the alcohol on the label. Only when that is missing do we use the typical profile of the style, region or grapes, and we say so.

The 1–5 scale

  1. 1Low: under 11% vol
  2. 2Medium−: 11–12.4% vol
  3. 3Medium: 12.5–13.4% vol
  4. 4Medium+: 13.5–14.4% vol This wine
  5. 5High: 14.5% vol or more

In practice, for this wine

Avoid very spicy food, which boosts the heat. Serve slightly below room temperature.

Wine profile · Red

Intensity

Level 5 of 5 — Pronounced – fills the glass with aroma

Above typical (3.9) · Typical: average of 84 reds at Vinogrande

What it is

Aromatic intensity is how strongly the aromas come through: fruit, flowers, spice, oak, notes of age.

Where you feel it

On the nose, before you sip: how strongly the aromas rise from the glass. Swirling releases them.

How we set this level

For this wine, the level comes from: Vinogrande's tasting sheet.

It is a sensory judgement, with no lab figure. We only show it when the wine's description or a review mentions it.

Matches aroma-rich cooking; a wide glass shows it off.

Description

O Altos del Enebro Crianza 2023 é um prestigiado vinho tinto espanhol produzido pela vinícola boutique Altos del Enebro, localizada no município de Milagros (Burgos), no coração da prestigiada D.O. Ribera del Duero. Elaborado pelo enólogo Rodrigo González a partir de vinhas plantadas a cerca de 1.000 metros de altitude, destaca-se pela sua elegância e forte caráter mineral.

Nota de Prova

Visual: Apresenta uma cor vermelho-cereja profunda e concentrada, com elevada opacidade e um núcleo escuro, envolvido por reflexos violáceos e arroxeados. Um perfil visual que revela juventude, intensidade e um notável potencial de envelhecimento em garrafa.

Aroma: De grande intensidade e complexidade aromática, evidencia um núcleo de fruta negra e vermelha madura, onde sobressaem amoras, mirtilos e ameixas pretas. O estágio em carvalho francês acrescenta nuances balsâmicas e especiadas, acompanhadas por notas de cacau, alcaçuz, baunilha e delicados apontamentos tostados. Surgem ainda sugestões frescas de ervas aromáticas, evocando o tomilho e a vegetação do bosque, que conferem profundidade e elegância ao conjunto.

Boca: Entra com volume e generosidade, revelando uma textura carnuda e envolvente, sustentada por uma expressão frutada intensa. Os taninos são maduros, firmes e refinados, proporcionando estrutura sem comprometer a elegância. Apesar do seu teor alcoólico de 14,5% vol., a acidez natural, favorecida pela altitude de 1.000 metros das vinhas, confere-lhe uma frescura surpreendente e um equilíbrio notável. O final é longo e persistente, marcado por uma complexidade mineral que remete para os solos ferrosos e siliciosos da vinha.

Perfil Vinogrande: Um tinto de grande concentração e personalidade, que alia potência, profundidade aromática e elegância. A frescura de altitude, a qualidade dos taninos e a expressão mineral conferem-lhe equilíbrio e distinção, anunciando uma evolução promissora em garrafa.

Harmonização Gastronómica

A combinação entre estrutura, taninos polidos e frescura natural torna este vinho um excelente parceiro de pratos intensos e de sabores marcantes.

Carnes vermelhas e caça: Ideal para acompanhar costeletão de boi maturado, vazio grelhado ou lombo de novilho com pimenta preta. Encontra também uma excelente afinidade com estufados de javali ou veado e perna de cordeiro assada com alecrim e tomilho

Pratos tradicionais: Harmoniza na perfeição com arroz de pato tostado no forno, rabo de boi estufado em vinho tinto ou uma feijoada à transmontana, cuja riqueza e intensidade são equilibradas pela frescura e estrutura do vinho.

Queijos curados e enchidos: Acompanha muito bem queijos de cura prolongada, como Serra da Estrela velho e Manchego, bem como queijos azuis de intensidade moderada. Para uma experiência mais requintada, experimente-o com cecina de León ou presunto ibérico de bellota.
