Description

The Reserva wine spends 20 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels and a minimum bottle ageing of 24 months before release. This is a great wine, superbly balanced yet suggestive. Intense bigarreau cherry red colour with subtle purple highlights, bright russet and amber rims displaying its ageing. Delightfully subtle on the nose, with ripe fruit notes perfectly blended with the wood ageing, leading us to special aromas (vanilla, cinnamon) and the stimulating scent of roasted coffee or toasted bread. Very meaty on the tongue, with a lingering finish and fully balanced acidity. The harmony of the soft, mature tannins fills your palate with enjoyable textures.

Carmelo Rodero

Carmelo Rodero belongs to a long line of winegrowers from the Ribera. Around 1990, he began his own journey, always supported by his wife Elena. Together they bet on the future and quality, knowing that the basis of a great wine is always found in the excellence of its “black pearls”, which is how Carmelo likes to call the fruit of his vineyards. All this effort and search for quality have been rewarded with national and international awards.

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero is a prestigious wine region located in northern Spain, renowned for its exceptional red wines, primarily made from the Tempranillo grape, locally known as Tinta del País or Tinto Fino. The region spans the upper valley of the Duero River and benefits from a continental climate with hot, dry summers and harsh winters, which contribute to the unique character of its wines. The combination of high altitude, limestone-rich soils, and significant temperature variations between day and night enhances the concentration and complexity of the grapes. Ribera del Duero is home to some of Spain’s most celebrated wineries, including Vega Sicilia and Dominio de Pingus, which produce bold, full-bodied wines with rich flavours of dark fruit, spices, and a distinct earthy quality. Established as a Denomination of Origin (DO) in 1982, the region has quickly become synonymous with high-quality, age-worthy wines that compete on the world stage.
