Authentic Tinto Fino
Made with 100% “Tinto Fino” grapes, as Tempranillo is called in Ribera del Duero, and matured only for 6 months in French Oak barrels, this is a very intense wine from one of the most recognized Regions in Spain nowadays.
As soon as you open the bottle, it spreads on the air very intensely, with abundant notes of red fruits, raspberry, gooseberry, ripe fruit. “Authentic tinta fina” very well structured with creamy and toasty notes coming from oak barrel aging touches. A fresh and mineral wine. In your eyes a high intense cherry red and garnet hues.
At the first sip you’ll feel a smooth entry with ripe and velvety tannins, long, elegant fresh and very well balanced across palate.
If you like full-bodied, ripe and saturated reds, this wine was made for you.
Alcohol: 14% Vol.
Conservation: We recommend to store this wine in a cool ventilated place where the temperature is fairly constant between 14º to 18º C, keeping the bottle on their side allowing the wine to be always in contact with the cork. Very good aging aprox. 15 years

DO Ribera del Duero
The Denominación de Origen (D.O.) of Ribera del Duero was founded on July 21, 1982, by an organization of wine producers and growers who were determined to promote the quality of their wines and enforce regulatory standards. It is still waiting to receive the upgrade to Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa) status since 2008 like Rioja thanks to the high quality of their wines.
Wines produced in the Ribera del Duero DO derive almost exclusively from red grapes. The only white variety grown is the Albillo grape, and is mostly destined for local consumption. The vast majority of production is dedicated to Tinto Fino (the local name for Tempranillo), the dominant red varietal in the northern half of the Spanish peninsula. Tinto Fino is often, but not always complemented with Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot.
There are some similarities between Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Whereas the wines are quite distinctive as a result of significant differences in terroir, both regions produce wines selected for long aging with highly complex vinification procedures, producing intense, extremely long-lived wines emanating from largely limestone soils. Wines are classified as much for their longevity as their grape quality, and Ribera del Duero produces some extremely well-aging wines. The aging requirements for Ribera del Duero are the same used in Rioja. Wines labelled as “Crianza” must age two years with 12 months in oak. “Reserva” wines must be aged at least three years with at least 12 months in oak. The “Gran Reserva” labelled wines must spend 5 years aging prior to release, two being in oak.
Ribera del Duero has moderated to low rainfall (450 mm per year) and is exposed to quite extreme climatic conditions whith long and dry summers with temperatures of up to 40 °C and then followed by hard winters during which temperatures often come close to freezing temperatures. The climate is continental and Mediterranean, with more than 2,400 hours of annual sunlight.
All the vineyards within this Region occupy around 120 km² of the region, most of which are situated in the province of Burgos, with around 5 km² in Valladolid and 6 km² in Soria.
