Tasting Notes

Deep ruby in color, this wine opens with intense blackberries, plums, currants, mineral notes, wild herbs, dark chocolate, coffee, spice, and a touch of vanilla. The palate is powerful yet smooth, with well-structured tannins, balanced acidity, fleshy texture, freshness, and a long persistent finish.

Food Paring

Pair this Ribera del Duero red with roasted lamb, grilled red meats, game stews, cured sheep’s cheeses, sausages, or foie gras. Its powerful fruit, polished tannins, and fresh structure make it a standout choice for hearty Spanish-inspired meals and richly savory dishes.
