Rippa Dorii Ribera Del Duero Roble

The Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo) grapes are selected from a number of different plots near Fuentecén, at 900m altitude. Soils here are a combination of stone, clay and white limestone and vines are over 25 years in age. A first selection of grapes takes place in the vineyard, where those from the highest and coolest areas are chosen, which have experienced a slower and smoother ripening of the berries. After fermentation, the wine matures for 7 months in oak barrels (a mixture of French and American oak is used).

It’s a lovely big, brambly red with notes of dark cherries, red plums, baking spices, with touches of florals.
