The wine region of Arribes
Recent DO (2007) of Castile and León along the Duero at the Portuguese border, vineyards on steep riverbanks (the "arribes"), pre-phylloxera old vines. Juan García is the signature red (a native, ~40% of the vineyard, brilliant purple berries): aromatic with red fruits, blackberry, violet, garrigue and a schisty mineral note, supple tannins and medium acidity. Fine Rufete, Tempranillo and Garnacha as complements.
The wine region of Castille-et-Léon
Cradle of great Castilian reds on high-altitude plateaus (450-1000 m) of the Duero. Tempranillo king (Tinto Fino, Tinta de Toro): powerful, structured reds with notes of black cherry, blackberry, plum, leather and spices, firm tannins and length worthy of long ageing. Stars: Ribera del Duero (Vega Sicilia, Pingus), fleshy Toro, Bierzo (fresh mineral Mencía). Lively herbaceous Verdejo whites from Rueda, cut grass and citrus.
The word of the wine: Physiological maturity
The stage of ripeness of the grape berry when it has reached an optimal weight and when the sugar and acidity levels have stabilized.
