Description

On the nose, we can find an intense and delightful range of aromas. Scents of ripe black fruit mix with toasted notes as well as leather and coffee. As it opens, spicy fragrances –deep, intense and persistent– come to mind.

It is extremely meaty, savoury, velvety, well structured, fresh, and endowed with great balance on the palate. Hints of blackberries, milk coffee candy, shady forests, pipe tobacco, minerals… It is a wine with many sensations, which linger on and on, as the finish is very, very long-lasting.

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.
