Region: Ribera Del Duero, Spain

Vintage: 2019

Composition: Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal, and Albillo

History: The Reserva is a wine made from the oldest vines near the village of Aguilera. Here the vineyards are mainly Tempranillo, but like old vines the world over, many other varieties, red and white, are mixed in. Rather than separate these varieties, Jorge feels that a true representation of these sites is best captured by co-fermenting them. This cuve sees nearly three years in barrel – half of that time waiting for the malolactic fermentation to finish! This slow elevage results in a wine with remarkable poise and complexity.

Tasting Notes:

“There is clarity and brilliance in this lovely wine with character of crushed berries and flowers. Full body. Layered and highly polished. Long and tasty finish.” – James Suckling

Awards: 95pts Robert Parker and 94pts James Suckling
