Tasting Notes

Dark cherry with ruby highlights, this Tempranillo opens with black berries, blackberry jam, black cherry, black currant, vanilla, smoky roast notes, and elegant oak. The palate is flavorful and approachable, framed by fine fruity acidity, medium body, firm tannins, juicy red fruit, and a balanced medium-long finish.

Food Paring

Pair this Ribera del Duero Crianza with grilled meats, chorizo, mature cheeses, or roasted lamb to highlight its smooth tannins and dark-fruit depth. Its juicy structure and polished oak make it a versatile choice for savory tapas, weeknight steak, or a hearty Spanish-inspired dinner.

Professional Reviews

"A refreshing nose of perfectly ripened red and blue fruits segues into a sleek palate profile. The tannins do catch up but the underlying delicacy serves to harmonize. Overall, this is in a great place already."

91 James Suckling

"Fresh, showing good fluidity from a year with a very dry, hot summer. Well-made with an approachable style, medium body, firm tannins and a juicy, medium-long finish. A balanced expression of strawberries and cherries. Lots of early appeal here."

"Love the pink florals, ripe dark plum and toasty oak aromas on this 100% Tempranillo Crianza produced from grapes sourced in the Ribera del Duero at 900 metres above sea level. Full bodied and fresh with ripe dark fruits, smoked meat, cocoa, vanilla and toasty spice flavours on the palate."
