Ribera Del Duero

Origin in Focus

Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero in Castile and León is one of Spain’s top regions for powerful red wines. At its heart is Tempranillo, known here as ‘Tinto Fino’, which ripens on high plateaus with large day-night temperature differences. The continental climate and calcareous, sandy-loamy soils produce deeply coloured wines with ripe fruit, firm structure and lively acidity. Stylistically, the spectrum ranges from fresh, fruit-driven Crianzas to complex, long-lived Reservas and Gran Reservas, often aged in oak. The result: character, concentration and elegance with excellent ageing potential.
