Portia Prima La Encina is a unique creation from Bodegas Portia, produced exclusively with Tempranillo grapes from the Pago La Encina vineyard, located in the heart of the DO Ribera del Duero. At an altitude of 850 meters, along with its continental climate and poor soils, the wine achieves balanced maturation, granting it notable concentration and freshness. The winemaking begins with careful selection of the fruit and meticulous aging in oak barrels, preserving the vineyard’s identity and enhancing its aromatic complexity. On the nose, the wine features aromas of black fruits such as blackberry and plum, complemented by notes of vanilla, cocoa, and sweet spices. On the palate, it shows a broad and balanced structure, mature tannins, and an elegant freshness that offers a long and persistent finish. This wine is perfect for pairing with red meats, roasted lamb, long-cooked stews, game meats, and aged cheeses. It’s recommended to serve at 16-18 ºC, and is designed for excellent aging potential and evolution in the bottle, reflecting the distinctive character of the Pago La Encina vineyard.
