Ribera del Duero wines
Some of the best Spanish wines come from this region, yet it is still relatively unknown to the UK market, who still seem to associate all Spanish wine with Rioja.
Tempranillo is the main grape, although it is called Tinto del Pais in this region. The wines tend to be more refined than Rioja’s (at least in our opinion) and the region is benefiting from the knowledge of wine makers from all over the world and especially the New World, who are making their homes in Ribera del Duero.
Spain’s most expensive wine, ‘Unico’ from Vega Sicilia, comes from Ribera del Duero.
Majestic Wines is one of the better places to buy Ribera del Duero and they have a good example in the form of Fuentespina 2004, which is a Crianza.
2004 was a very good year for wines from Ribera del Duero. You can read more about Spanish wine vintages here.
It packs a punch at 14% alcohol, so mind how you go, but because it is 100% tempranillo, it is suitable for ageing so stick a few away now.
