Organically certified cultivation on the Golden Mile; gentle gravity-fed processing and ageing in steel and concrete preserve the unadulterated fruit without any mask of wood.
Tasting note
Colour & appearance
Luminous dark cherry red with a dense, deep core – a wine that promises concentration right from the glass.
Nose
Dark fruit meets surprising freshness: blueberry, blackberry and cassis stand closely together, alongside sweet cherry and elderberry. Beneath them lie earthy, nutty notes of roasted walnut and hazelnut, with floral accents of hibiscus and pansy. A balsamic warmth recalls cocoa butter, while eucalyptus and mint provide cooling counterpoints.
Palate
Juicy and grippy, with a dusty-silky texture. The fruit takes hold without ever feeling heavy – the tannins remain astonishingly restrained, while a lively acidity provides drive. Velvety and supple, never loud, with subtly lingering nuttiness and delicate herbal freshness.
Finish
Cool and smooth, with fine fruit and a hint of mint – a wine that is simply there and brings uncomplicated pleasure.
Terroir & origin
The vines are rooted on the Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero, between Vega Sicilia and Pingus, in Quintanilla de Arriba. At an altitude of 740 to 780 metres, calcareous marl, gypsum, clay and sand alternate within a very confined space. Cool nights preserve the acidity – the result: tension rather than opulence.
Grape variety & vinification
100% Tempranillo from parcels planted in 1998. Fermentation in stainless steel, followed by six months of rest in concrete – without any oak mask, with open, pure fruit. The 2024 vintage benefited from the rainy winter of 2023 and a slow, gentle ripening.
Food recommendations
A versatile everyday wine: with grilled lamb and rosemary, pasta with mushroom ragù, Manchego or tapas such as chorizo and patatas bravas.
Special features
The entry-level wine of an estate that unites music and wine: Charo Agüera, a former violinist with the Spanish National Orchestra, assesses the balance of each vintage. The organically certified bodega operates self-sufficiently – photovoltaics cover almost the entire electricity requirement, and gravity replaces pumps. Luca d’Attoma has been consulting since 2011 and shapes the style: less extraction, more precision.
