Red Wine /// Tempranillo // Ribera Del Duero / Spain
Wowzers. This is quite a step up from Milu's basic Ribera, more depth, more complexity, more layers and more proof that you don't need to drop kick a tonne of wood up the arse of a wine to add richness. Taken from 70 year old vines, the grapes are picked by hand and crushed by foot. Different parcels use different yeasts and fermentation vessels: open barrel, amphorae and oak. Non-filtered and neither stabilised nor clarified. Elevage takes place in used and neutral French oak. Ultimate boutique product here. Gorgeous, gorgeous wine. STSWine
