Epilogue Oak, silver at the Brussels World Competition

May 15, 2015

The Epílogo Roble 2012 wine from Bodegas Yuntero has been awarded the silver medal in the 22nd edition of the Brussels World Competition which, on this occasion, was held in the town of Jesolo (Italy). For three days, from May 1 to 3, nearly 300 international expert tasters evaluated more than 8,000 wines from 50 countries, announcing the award-winning wines on May 8.

Created in 1994, the Brussels World Competition is considered one of the most relevant events in the wine sector due to the professionalism and rigor of its jury, as well as the great diversity of nationalities represented in the tasting.

Epilogue Oak, double silver
During 2015, the Epílogo Roble red wine, from the 2012 vintage, has won two silver medals: the one recently awarded at the Brussels World Competition and the one obtained, last April, at the Berliner Wein Trophy competition in Germany.

With the La Mancha Designation of Origin, it is produced with the Tempranillo (65%) and Merlot (35%) grape varieties. Both wines are made independently, undergoing light aging separately in mixed oak barrels (American and French). After five months, the final blend is made.

It is an intense color, purplish cherry red with a maroon rim. On the nose, the aromas of red forest fruits, violets and fruit compote (currant, blackberry, cherry) intermingle, in addition to the aromas provided by barrel aging such as notes of coconut, vanilla, roasted and smoked. It is very tasty in the mouth, persistent and with a long finish.
