Riberal Crianza

Red wine | DO Ribera del Duero

Your gateway to the Ribera del Duero… welcome!
This Riberal Crianza elegantly combines notes of aging and accents of ripe fruit. Ample and balanced, it offers remarkable harmony, and lingers for a long time on the palate. Although it is mainly aged in French oak, like most of the region's wines, it is also partially in contact with American oak. Without losing its very typical identity of Ribera del Duero, this makes it a little more fragrant, more accessible, a good gateway into this great appellation!

Wine-growing region

The wines made in the Ribera del Duero region come from 160 hectares of carefully chosen vineyards, owned by 51 wine growers who were encouraged to take part in the Riberal del Duero project initiated by the Frutos Villar family.
Nestled in a special area, facing the slopes of the Duero River and sheltered by its basin, these vineyards flourish in alluvial soils.
The vineyards produce different varieties of grape varieties, mainly the indigenous grape variety “Tinta del País” known as “Tempranillo”.

Winemaking

Aged in bottle for at least 6 months before sale. Storage horizontally in a basement maintained at a maximum of 16°C.
