Ribera del Duero DO

Wild strawberry and fresh fruit meet apple, white flowers and balsamic accents. Liquorice, roasted tones, chocolate, black fruit and bright acidity are also present. Made entirely from Tempranillo, the wine spends eight months in French and American oak. The palate is fleshy and balanced, with present tannins, while the colour is a vivid red-purple and alcohol reaches fourteen percent.

Tinta Fina forms most of the blend, with scattered Albillo Mayor and Garnacha Tinta vines. The vineyards lie above 950 metres around Alcubilla and Villálvaro in Soria, on sandy soil and fine gravel over iron-rich clay. The grapes are picked by hand. Fermentation and gentle maceration last two weeks, malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel, and ageing lasts twelve months in oak vessels of several sizes.

Blackberry, plum and dark cherry lead a concentrated, finely layered bouquet. Violet adds aromatic lift, while cocoa, roasted coffee and vanilla bring polished oak detail. The palate is generous yet controlled, with dense fruit carried by fresh acidity and firm, well-shaped tannins. Long and savoury, it finishes with dark berries, toast, spice and a clear mineral note.

Blackberry and pomegranate lead an intense, expressive profile, joined by dark chocolate, mineral detail and warm spice. The palate is rich and voluptuous yet carries its scale with balance and surprising lightness. Ripe, firm tannins give structure, while liquorice, leather and savoury meat add depth. The texture stays velvety through a long, gently sweet finish. Decant before serving with roast lamb or braised beef.
