"A great meld of fruit forward aromatics and oaky character is at play here. This shows a wide range of aromatic herbs and baking spices alongside ripe purple fruits. Imagine ripe black doris plums and black cherries being grilled on a BBQ, then tossed in a blackberry puree. Delish! Nice acidity here which helps to balance this out even further. Ready to drink but could easily do a few more years in the cellar, if you can resist temptation."

Tempranillo
Tempranillo is one of the most important grape varietals in all of Spain where you might also know it as Tinto Fino - like it is in Portugal. Most notably it is the leading grape of Rioja's red blend where it was traditionally quite an oaky and spicy red wine. In Ribera del Duero, it arguably, comes into its own as it doesn't see as much oak so that you can truly get to see its lively red fruit flavours.
