Tempranillo "Peludo" (hairy or furry due to the hairs on the leaves) is native to Rioja and the oldest grape variety there. Senorio de San Vincente's single vineyard with high-density plantings was unique in Rioja when first planted in 1985. The philosophy? To produce a wine the maximum varietal expression and a pronounced personality by respecting the vineyard, listening to the grape and paying attention to detail. Only 750 cases imported.

"The 2004 San Vicente is 100% Tempranillo Peludo sourced from a single vineyard... This leads to an elegant Rioja with excellent balance, intense flavors and 5 - 7 years of aging potential. It should be at its best between 2015 and 2025." (RP 91)
