The wine

The Rapolao from Dominio de Anza is one of those wines which justifiably rests on its own laurels, conveying its vitality with every sip. It’s floral, with a complex aromatic array, elegant and showing great purity. Compared with the neighbouring wines from this exceptional site, this Diego Magaña one proves rather more juicy.

Wine critics reviewsReviews by Parker

The nose of the 2021 Dominio de Anza Finca El Rapolao is truly spectacular, aromatic and floral but with much more depth and complexity than the other wine here. It was selected from 0.49 hectares of very old vines on very red soils and fermented with 100% clusters (something unusual), separating three parts of the vineyard in different vats and maturing them in 500-liter oak barrels, and it was blended before bottling. It has freshness, more red fruit, aromatic herbs and a spicy twist. It's medium-bodied, with moderate ripeness and alcohol (13.5%) and a seamless sensation on the palate, beautifully textured with very fine tannins. It's a very complete wine. 1,900 bottles were filled in August 2023.

Winemaking

The amount of destemmed grapes or bunches with stalks will vary depending on the vintage year. In warmer years, Diego reduces the usage of stalks whereas in cooler ones he uses more pure whole grapes to gain structure.

Vineyards

El Rapolao

Rapolao is a special site located in the coolest area of the town of Valtuille de Abajo, situated at an altitude of 500 metres and facing northwest. The vines, grown in bush form, are primarily of the Mencía variety, with small amounts of Estaladiña, Garnacha Tintorera and Sousón. The deep soils are a combination of stones and iron-rich red clay, and the grapes ripen late, enabling them to soak up aromas from the woods which surround the vineyards, and result in highly perfumed wines that have delicate tannins.
