The wine region of Ribera del Duero
Cradle of great modern Spanish reds: Tempranillo (95% of the vineyard, here Tinto Fino) powerful, deep and elegant with notes of black cherry, blackberry, candied plum, leather, cedar and spices, firm tannins and sustained acidity thanks to altitude (720-1100 m). Classification by age: Crianza, Reserva, Gran Reserva. Harsh continental climate, clay-limestone soils. DO since 1982, 19,000 ha in Castilla y León.
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: Wooded
A set of aromas brought about by ageing in barrels (usually oak). This can be pleasant when, in small doses, it brings a touch of spice, roast or vanilla to an already constructed ensemble. When the violent woodiness dominates the wine, it is quickly tiring. Easily identifiable aromatically, it is sought after (to the point of abuse) by the makers of coarse wines. New World manufacturers and, alas, some French winemakers use oak chips to impart the woody taste, which is tantamount to artificial flavoring.
