TASTING NOTES: The white from Dominio del Águila is one of the first whites from the Ribera del Duero appellation, which just approved the category in September 2019. It's also one of the finest whites from the region (and from Spain), used by the appellation to present the new category of wines as an example of the aging potential of the style, which at this address was produced in 2012, 2014 and 2015 and until now sold as generic Vino de España. The fourth vintage bottled is this 2016 Blanco, which is insultingly young and backward, with incredible tension, 13% alcohol and a pH of 3.08, which is only achieved in cool vintages, and crafted as the best white Burgundies, as it's produced with the idea of a true vin de garde. This 2016 took almost two years to complete fermentation, because it ferments in oak barrels in a very cold cellar. This is the finest vintage, with citrus notes, hints of smoke and incredible tension and freshness in the palate. This has the tenderness of a baby and should have a slower development than any of the previous vintages. It was hand bottled—unfined and unfiltered after 32 months in barrel—into 4,855 bottles and 80 magnums in June 2019. These are wines that deserve being revisited a few years after their bottling...

Ribera del Duero

About Ribera del Duero

Ribera del Duero is an esteemed wine region in Spain, renowned for its exceptional red wines, particularly those crafted from the Tempranillo grape variety, known locally as Tinto Fino or Tinta del País. Situated along the Duero River in the Castilla y León region, Ribera del Duero boasts a continental climate with hot, dry summers and cold winters, as well as a diverse range of soil types, including limestone, clay, and gravel.

The region's elevation, ranging from 750 to 900 meters above sea level, contributes to dramatic day-night temperature variations, allowing grapes to ripen fully while retaining acidity and complexity. These unique environmental factors, combined with meticulous viticulture and winemaking practices, yield wines of exceptional depth, structure, and character.

Ribera del Duero wines are predominantly red and are characterized by their bold fruit flavors, firm tannins, and aging potential. While Tempranillo is the dominant grape variety, Ribera del Duero regulations also permit small amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Garnacha.

The aging classifications for Ribera del Duero wines mirror those of Rioja, with Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva categories denoting varying periods of oak and bottle aging. These designations ensure that Ribera del Duero wines offer a spectrum of options, from youthful and vibrant to mature and complex, catering to a wide range of preferences and occasions.

Ribera del Duero's reputation for producing world-class wines has garnered international acclaim, cementing its status as one of Spain's premier wine regions. Whether enjoyed alongside hearty Spanish cuisine or savored on their own, Ribera del Duero wines captivate wine enthusiasts with their richness, elegance, and unmistakable sense of place.
