BOTAS DE BARRO RIBERA DEL DUERO

Varietal: TempranilloRegion: Ribera del Duero

Another of Spain's great wine regions is the Ribera del Duero, situated on the banks of the majestic Duero River. This is a key factor in creating the region's unique microclimate and an essential source of water that allows the vines to thrive. Here we find high quality wines made from "Tempranillo", known locally as Tinta Fino or Tinta del País. The ripening season is long, with large temperature differences between day and night, which helps to improve the aromatic qualities of the grapes. The limestone soil with sand and clay adds character and complexity to the wines.

Vineyards: Centennial vineyards, with a planting frame of 1.5 x 3 m. Without irrigation. Sandy and limestone soils. Well-drained, poor soils, with a high concentration of gravel. At 850m above sea level.
