Jimbro Puesta en Cruz · 2021
Jimbro Puesta en Cruz is the result of a story of search, patience, and revelation. For years, the Jimbro team walked through the century-old vineyards of Las Arribes del Duero, identifying vine by vine a nearly forgotten grape variety: Puesta en Cruz. What seemed like a local curiosity turned out to be an extraordinary grape, capable of producing white wines with soul, depth, and aging potential. This wine is born from poor soils of granite and slate, where century-old roots cling with strength. Fermented and aged in French oak barrels, with 12 months on its lees, Puesta en Cruz 2018 revives the old concept of white wines that are complex, tense, and elegant. Aromas of white fruit, dried flowers, and subtle spices. On the palate, vibrant acidity, mineral tension, texture, and a long finish that invites contemplation. A white wine for those who seek wines with history, with landscape, and with a future. The Puesta en Cruz variety was officially recognized by the European Union in 2019.

About the vineyard[+]
With its creation in 2007, Arribes is one of the youngest Spanish appellations. The Arribes DO is located between the southwest of Zamora and the northwest of Salamanca, along the valleys of the Duero River. Grape Varieties On its granite and slate soils covered with shallow sands, Malvasía, Albillo, Tempranillo and Rufete vines take root, among others, and especially the reds Juan García and Bruñal, two native varieties that are the backbone of some of the best red wines of the appellation. Vineyards The vineyards of the DO Arribes border the Duero River as it passes through the provinces of Zamora and Salamanca, within the Arribes del Duero Natural Park. The area has a very rugged terrain, caused by the strong encasement of the Duero River and its tributaries, which causes the vineyards to be planted at very different altitudes and with varied exposures. The soils are mainly characterised by a silty-sandy texture, shallow and very stony. Climate The climate, with a clear Atlantic influence, allows us to obtain concentrated grapes of the highest quality, as rainfall is scarce during the ripening cycle and summers are warm. The wines of the DO Arribes are bright and fruity, increasingly coloured and intensely mineral.
