Lovamor 2022 - Alfredo Maestro

Lovamor - Alfredo Maestro

The Lovamor is a white wine obtained from Albillo grapes, which come from old vineyards planted over 100 years ago, between 1891 and 1910. After manual harvesting, the grapes are de-stemmed and pressed before being subjected to maceration that lasts a week. The fermentation is then carried out in stainless steel tanks using spontaneous yeasts and the continuous aging in them for a few months. It is not filtered or clarified before being bottled. Lovamor is pale and bright golden yellow. On the nose the aromas are ample and fresh, with notes of ripe white pulp fruits, floral hints. On the palate it is deep, warm, fresh, with good acidity and salinity. It closes long. A surprising and strong impact wine.

Winery: Alfredo Maestro

Bodegas by Alfredo Maestro Tejero is a small company located in Peñafiel, in the Ribera del Duero area. Alfredo is a self-taught winemaker who grew up in the vineyards, and in 1998, encouraged by some friends, he planted his first vineyard on the Rio Duraton near his home. In 2000 he had his first harvest and started to make wine for his friends. Alfredo Maestro at the beginning vinifies according to the teachings learned from the neighbor winemakers, but his dream is to produce "natural wines", red and white that can reflect the land from which they come, without adding chemicals in the vineyard or in winemaking. In recent years, Alfredo has been searching, around the Ribera del Duero and nearby Madrid, for vineyards of old vines, which grow on soils rich in limestone or granite, so that they can give freshness to its wines. Today, Alfredo owns 9 hectares of vineyards and two small bodegas, one located in his native Peñafiel in the Ribera del Duero, where his father helps her, and the other in the Navalcarnero area, southwest of Madrid. Alfredo produces no less than 11 cuvee from individual vineyards and especially from very rare vineyards of Garnacha, Garnacha Tintorera and Albillo located in the Ribera del Duero, grapes that were once cultivated in the region, but which fell into disgrace because of the region's charm for the Tempranillo. His are a remarkable example of purity and elegance.
