Abadía de San Quirce Finca Helena

Finca Helena is the top wine from Abadía de San Quirce. It's an exceptionally elegant wine, which shows why Ribera del Duero has a worldwide reputation as one of the best wine making regions in the world.

The vineyards are in "La Aguilera", one of Spain's best vineyards with a big reputation. All the vines are centenary, and pre-phyloxera, something very difficult to achieve since the Phyloxera virus hit around Europe, it ended with 95% of all Spanish vines during the late 19th century. They produce a very reduced, very high quality fruit. Located at a good altitude of 840-880 meters above sea level.

The yearly production is very limited, with only around 2,500 bottles every year.

Beautiful deep cherry color, with a violet deep hue. On the nose it is wide and deep in aromas with ripe black berry fruits, balsamic notes, spice notes and fine wood. Refined, elegant and structured, with wonderful round and kind tanins, and a long finish.
