In parallel with our project at PICO CUADRO, we have carefully developed a selection of wines in the leading

appellations of the Valladolid area -Ribera del Duero and Rueda..

Our experience and knowledge of different wine zones have enabled us to identify and select different batches

of wine located in wineries in the two appellations, where our technical team monitors them and decides on

the key steps to be taken in the wine-making process.

The result is a complete range of high quality wines that are well adapted to the requirements of the most

demanding markets and which aim to provide a guarantee of genuine, authentic wines from each appellation.

TASTING NOTES: (11/01/2011)

A deep cherry colour. Great aromatic complexity. Very characteristic plum, raspberry and blackberry aromas. Great balance. Long, rich and spicy. Just the right amount of oak, harmonious power and softness. Hedonistic pleasure.

The “ Martín Berastegui System” bottle, which targets the world of wine. This bottle will make a high quality wine come to your,whole, because its design allows the following steps:

· You don't need to filter the wine in the winery. This unnatural process takes away quality and brings down the character of the vineyard. With this new bottle we shall get more natural wines, with organoleptic tones of the terrain intact: the sediments held at the bottom of the bottle will be the natural witnesses of quality.

· New formula of storing, ideal to decanting and settlement of wine, new possibilities of bottling adapted to the aesthetic features of the bottle.

· New concepts of pouring thanks to its ergonomics .

Dregs dissolved in liquids made from fruits (wines liquors, juices, oils) penetrate into the bottle during, the bottling process.

Eventually, the solids dissolved settle at the bottom of the bottle by effect of gravity.

At the moment of serving the contents, in a traditional bottle, dregs dissolve again or are swept away into the glass.

In a ‘Martín Berasategui System’ bottle, the vacuum effect will make dregs stay at the bottom.

INTERCATIA2009

Page 14: Pico cuadro & ESENCIAS wines

Description:

This is undoubtedly our most ambitious wine. Our goal was a special plot selection,

handcrafted in the vines and cellars to be enjoyed for its sheer and utter delight.

It comes from a vineyard planted in 1920 in one of the best terroirs of the Ribera del

Duero. The vines are located within the estate of Carraquintana in Olmedillo de

Roa (Burgos) and are known locally as “La Roja” (the Red One), because of the special

colour of the leaves on the vines during harvest-time.

The wines made here have a special ability to achieve harmonious balance year

after year regardless of the vagaries of the climate.

These vines are the oldest of the winery, and very special care is taken during the

wine-making process:

Once the grapes have been brought to the winery, each bunch is carefully sorted.

The “shoulders” and “tips” of the bunches are separated: only the upper part of the

bunches, the shoulders, are kept, since this is where the berries concentrate best all

the sugar, tannins and aromas for the production of an outstanding wine.

This exclusive collection piece is an exact reproduction of the English bottle

manufactured in 1794 at La Real Fábrica and which today is exhibited in the

permanent collection of the Museo de la Fundación Centro Nacional del Vidrio.
