Altos del Terral Ribera del Duero Crianza 2015
Altos del Terral Ribera del Duero Crianza 2015
One of Spain's pre-eminent wine regions, Ribera del Duero rose from obscurity in the 1980s to now boast some of Spain's greatest wineries. Ribera del Duero is a major wine region in Castilla y León, northern Spain. Its reputation is largely thanks to the high-quality of its red wines made mainly from Tempranillo grapes. The best examples are renowned throughout the wine world. The most searched-for example on our database is Vega Sicilia Unico Gran Reserva.
Pago de Los Capellanes winemaker, Paco Casas, produces this wine from 2 hectares in La Horra (Burgos), one of the more famous villages for Ribera del Duero. Top quality producers like Pingus and Sastre are both in this area, which has become famous for the quality of its terroirs. Here we have 100% Tinto fino, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. There is wonderfully fresh fruit here, particularly for the warm vintage, and it compares very favorably with some of the top names we've tasted from this year.
