Description

Pago Ayles Cuesta del Herrero Vino de Pago BIO 2023 - organic red dry wine from the Vino de Pago Aylés farm in Aragon, in the Mezalocha (Zaragoza) area.

Introduction
The name "Cuesta del Herrero" is associated with a specific vineyard, and the style of the wine is clearly of the "pago" type: fruitiness and freshness are maintained, but the structure is deeper due to the mixture of oak and grapes.

Aroma
The aroma is dominated by ripe red and darker berries, spices, a little "ink" (a darker, mineral-phenolic nuance) and a brighter floral note, which gives the wine freshness and elegance.

Taste
In the mouth, the wine is harmonious, with medium body, medium intensity of tannins and a "richer", slightly smooth texture. The aftertaste remains fruity and spicy, without excessive sweetness, as the acid and tannins hold the structure.

Winemaking and aging
Fermentation was carried out under temperature control and using local yeasts; Merlot and Tempranillo were fermented together, as were Garnacha and Cabernet Sauvignon. Malolactic fermentation took place in French oak barrels, where the wine spent a total of about 10 months.

Serving recommendations

Serve at 16 - 18 °C with various meat dishes, pasta with meat sauce, tapas, octopus, and hard mature cheeses.

About brand

Bodega Pago Aylés

Bodega Pago Aylés is located in northeastern Spain, near the city of Zaragoza, midway between Madrid and Barcelona. Ramón Reula's family wine project began in the 1980s. At that time, it became one of the largest private historical estates in Aragon (3,200 hectares). Aylés is more than just a winery and vineyard: it is a clearly defined territory where nature and wine have harmoniously coexisted for centuries. It is an impressive landscape of contrasts, encompassing the Huerva River, which carves spectacular ravines. This landscape is blessed with clay, limestone, and chalk soils, deep caves, and underground rivers, to which the vineyards bring a true symphony of life and color. Understanding the importance of environmental care, all vineyards are currently under ecological and sustainable farming, and the 2020 harvest received organic winemaking certification. In 2010, Aylés received the "Vino de Pago" classification, which is the highest quality designation for wine in Spain.

Wine Style

Bodega Pago Aylés wines are characterized by the distinct "terroir" reflection of the region, elegance, and complexity. The winery's philosophy is to combine respect for nature and traditions with modern technologies.

Red Wine: Pago Aylés is famous for its red wines, made from "Garnacha," "Tempranillo," "Merlot," and "Cabernet Sauvignon" grape varieties. These wines are characterized by a deep color, intense fruit and spice aromas, well-balanced tannins, and a long finish.
White Wine: Although the winery focuses mainly on red wine, it also produces high-quality white wines, characterized by freshness, minerality, and elegance.

Prestigious Vineyards

Bodega Pago Aylés manages one large, contiguous vineyard, which is unique due to its geographical location and soil composition:

Pago Aylés Vineyard: This vineyard is exceptional due to its diverse soil, microclimate, and old vines. It grows local and international grape varieties that are perfectly adapted to the local conditions.

This contiguous vineyard is the pride of Bodega Pago Aylés and the main guarantee of their wines' quality.

Aging and Consumption Period

It is recommended to taste Bodega Pago Aylés wines within five years of their production date to enjoy their youthful freshness. However, red wines, which are aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months, and then for some time in bottles, can be kept longer under suitable conditions.
