The Convento San Francisco 2005 is an authentic oenological jewel representing the best of the Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) grape from the heart of the prestigious Ribera del Duero Denomination of Origin. This vintage has historically been rated as 'Excellent', reflecting ideal climatic conditions that allowed for optimal phenolic maturation. The wine is the result of meticulous vinification, respecting a minimal intervention philosophy to reflect the terroir. After a manual harvest in small boxes, the must ferments at controlled temperature. The wine then rests for 16 months in a careful selection of French and American oak barrels, giving it its aromatic complexity and velvety texture. As a reserve wine, it can be enjoyed in its full expression after years of bottle refinement. The sensory experience of this wine culminates in a cherry red color, aromas of ripe black fruit, leather, and spices, along with a silky palate and a long balsamic finish. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, game, and aged cheeses. It is recommended to decant 45 minutes before serving at an optimal temperature of 16-18°C in a Riedel Bordeaux glass.
