Riberal Reserva

Red wine | DO Ribera del Duero

The Riberal de la Ribera… an easy name to remember!
The nose of this red wine offers complex aromas of black fruits, balsamic cream, cocoa and aromatic herbs. Its very precise aging in barrels allows it to breathe and round out, resulting in a subtle balance between power and elegance. A great Spanish red wine to Decanter for a few hours while young, and to serve with grilled meats or slow-cooked dishes, tender and tasty.

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”.
