Salamanca, Spain
VIÑAS SERRANAS was created in 2016 by 4 friends César Ruiz, Bosi Jiménez, Alberto Martín, and Miquel Udina, united by their love for the Sierra de Francia region and for fine, lively, and elegant wines
Their wines are produced entirely in the Sierra de Francia, within the DOP Sierra de Salamanca. They have vineyards in different villages, but mainly in Miranda del Castañar, Garcibuey, and Molinillo.
They are century-old vineyards, on terraces of Rufete and Rufete Blanca, two magnificent varieties for making fresh, complex, and elegant wines.

Viñas Serranas Vinas Ciclon
Viñas Serranas
Ciclón Rufete
From older vines rooted in granite and schist terraces around 650m, this Rufete was native fermented with 15% whole bunch in small tanks, with 3 weeks maceration. It was finished primarily in French barrels for 10 months.
Perfumed cherry, crunchy plum, raspberries, are framed with fine downy / grippy tannins, wrapping around a juicy core, and finishing super saline. An earlier piece has kept alcohol low and bright (12.67%), encouraging taking this with a slight chill. 15,000 bottles produced.
"They used most of the red Rufete grapes to produce the 2022 Ciclón, as the year was very dry and low yielding and they are in a transition toward village reds. It has grapes from different villages and soils, with the plots fermented and matured separately. It fermented destemmed, and two-thirds of the volume matured in barrel for 10 months. Rufete keeps low alcohol (this is 12.5%), and in 2022, they harvested very early because of the heat. This has good freshness with a nose dominated by red berry fruit, herbs and some flowers. It has some slightly rustic tannins, the oak is not noticeable, and the wine feels young and primary, clean and tasty. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023. Drink 2024-2028.” - 92 points, Luis Gutiérrez, Wine Advocate
