Los Tres Dones – The Three Gifts 2021

Wine description for Los Tres Dones - The Three Gifts 2021 from Valdemonjas

Colour & appearance

Intense purple-red colour with brilliant reflections that impressively underline the youth and vitality of this Tempranillo from the Ribera del Duero.

Nose

A precise, clearly defined bouquet of impressive complexity. Black and red cherries dominate, underpinned by subtle notes of spices and a mineral component that comes from the chalky, high-altitude terroirs. The woody notes are elegantly interwoven, never intrusive - a sign of the winemaker's careful signature.

Palate

The true mastery of this wine is revealed on the palate: Powerful without heavinessThe wine has a remarkable balance between juicy fruit and structural elements. The fine-grained tannins are perfectly integrated and give the wine a silky feel. Despite its 14.5% alcohol, it does not come across as hot, but retains a surprising freshness and elegance. The finish is long, complex and shows the characteristic tension of great Ribera wines, but with a modern, less overloaded interpretation.

General information

Valdemonjas beweist mit diesem Wein, dass die “Goldene Meile” der Ribera del Duero auch für einen authentischeren, weniger technischen Stil stehen kann. Die biologisch bewirtschafteten Hochlagen-Weinberge (740-780m) und die Kombination aus Beton- und Holzausbau ermöglichen einen Wein, der Kraft und Finesse vereint. Der 2021er Jahrgang zeigt sich als hervorragender Botschafter dieses besonderen Terroirs.

Food pairing suggestions

Ideal for Grilled saddle of lamb, roasted squab with mushrooms or matured Manchego. The fine acidity structure also makes it an interesting partner for Braised game dishes.

Special features

A wine that respects the tradition of the region, but at the same time develops its own unmistakable character. The combination of concrete tank fermentation and French oak gives it a special texture and complexity. An excellent example of how the new generation of Spanish winemakers knows how to combine power with elegance.
