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: Baco 22A
A white grape variety resulting from the hybridization of the folle blanche and the noah. It is the only hybrid to remain authorized in a French appellation vineyard, that of Armagnac, where it thrives in particular on the tawny sands of Bas-Armagnac. When distilled, its wine produces round, smooth and aromatic eaux-de-vie with hints of ripe fruit.
