Los Tres Dones – The Three Gifts 2022

Wine Description for Los Tres Dones – The Three Gifts 2022 by Valdemonjas

Colour & Appearance

Luminous purple-red in the glass – youthful, intense and displaying the characteristic depth one expects from Tempranillo grown at altitude.

Nose

A seductive bouquet of blue and black fruits – blackberry, black cherry, cassis – underpinned by spicy nuances and that earthy minerality which makes Ribera del Duero so unmistakable. The balance between fruit and terroir is remarkably precise, the intensity impressive without being intrusive.

Palate

Here Ribera del Duero reveals itself in perfection: freshness, power and elegance in harmonious balance. The concentrated power of Tempranillo is restrained and focused, the refined tannins display structure without harshness. Juicy and mineral at once, with a silky-smooth texture that unfolds on the palate and develops a subtle grip. The oak is perfectly integrated – 14 months in barrique is evident in the complexity, not in obtrusive oak notes.

Finish

Long, aromatic and of sustained precision. The mineral freshness carries through to the end.

Terroir & Origin

From the highest-altitude vineyards of the so-called Golden Mile of Ribera del Duero, where the region’s top producers are concentrated. The heterogeneous soils – calcareous with sandy and clayey components – lend the wine its characteristic complexity and minerality.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Tempranillo from certified organic cultivation. Fermentation in concrete tank, followed by 14 months in barrique and subsequently 6 months in concrete tank – a thoughtful vinification that preserves fruit and structure.

Food Pairing Recommendations

An ideal companion to lamb shoulder, beef steak, wild boar ragout or aged Manchego. Also an excellent choice with Pimientos de Padrón with chorizo or Cochinillo asado.

Special Features

A certified organic fine wine from the renowned Golden Mile, demonstrating how modern-day Ribera del Duero can taste: powerful, yet not overloaded, concentrated, yet not heavy.
