Wine:

The intense 2020 Red Ribera del Duero Picaro is the estate's first step on the ladder, but it's a long way up! It's a sparkling wine of incredible depth, carried by velvety micro-tannins. From an area of old vines, the wine is vinified with indigenous yeasts and aged in barrels for 15 months. The fruit is precise, extremely fresh and nuanced, with subtle notes of blackcurrant and violet; without doubt the best vintage of this wine!

Hand harvested. Natural fermentation of the whole bunches in concrete tanks then malolactic fermentation in barrels. The wine is unfiltered. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels.

Certified organic wine.
