This wine is an ode to the paramos, the high plateaus of Ribera del Duero, where the grapes ripen under extreme temperature differences between day and night. This results in an intense expression of fruit and an elegant freshness. The colour is deep ruby red with purple highlights, underlining the youthfulness and concentration of the wine. The nose offers complex aromas of ripe blackcurrants, blackberries and plums, interwoven with subtle notes of liquorice, tobacco, cocoa and a touch of vanilla from ageing in French oak barrels. On the palate, the wine has a powerful structure with silky tannins and lively acidity that ensures a perfect balance. The flavour is dominated by ripe fruit, complemented by spicy nuances and toasty notes from the oak. The finish is long and elegant, with a subtle mineral touch typical of the terroir.
Perfect with grilled red meat, lamb, game dishes and aged cheeses.
