Why you'll love it
Crafted from 100% Tempranillo and aged for 24 months in American oak, this Reserva exemplifies the richness and structure characteristic of Ribera del Duero wines.
Deep ruby in colour, this wine offers aromas of black cherry, milk chocolate, baking spices, and flint. On the palate, it presents bright cherry and pomegranate flavours intertwined with mocha, rose petal, and aniseed, culminating in a long, elegant finish.
Ideal with grilled lamb, beef stews, or aged Manchego cheese.
Best known in Rioja, Ribera del Duero
Spain's great red grape. Cherry, plum, tobacco and leather, with smooth tannins, and oak ageing adds vanilla and spice. It is the heart of Rioja and Ribera del Duero, and in Portugal's Douro the same grape is called Tinta Roriz.
Spain
Spain's other great red wine heartland. Higher altitude than Rioja, hotter days and colder nights. Tempranillo (here called Tinto Fino) makes wines of real power and concentration. Vega Sicilia is the benchmark; there are now dozens of excellent producers at every price point.
