The Fuenconcejo Reserva Red Wine is produced by Bodegas Milvus, a cooperative founded in 1967 in Zazuar, within the prestigious D.O. Ribera del Duero. The wine originates from vineyards at an altitude of 880 meters with an average age of 50 years. The 2018 vintage, characterized by cold winters and a rainy spring, provided excellent maturation of sugars and aromatic compounds. Harvesting began on October 10.
Vinification is performed with meticulous care, involving pre-fermentation maceration at 8°C and fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aging occurs for 12 months in 225-liter barrels, primarily made of French oak. There is a three-month aging on lees for added complexity.
This wine has an intense purple hue and offers a perfect balance of fruit and wood on the nose, along with spicy notes and ripe fruits.

It is recommended to store it in a cool, dry place, protected from light.
