This wine from Ribera Del Duero is a blend of 90% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from vines aged between 10 and 20 years. Fruit is sourced from 30 different plots on the estate all of which are farmed organically. Following fermentation the wine was aged in oak barrels for 7 months prior to bottling without filtration. Ripe dusty fruit and minerality from the limestone soil make this a great food wine for grilled meats and spicy foods like Paella.

Torremilanos is comprised of 200 hectares of vineyards. The majority of the vineyards are Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with a few small plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Petit Verdot. The land has been known in Ribera del Duero for its quality and has been planted with vines for more than 100 years. The vineyards are on slopes that are predominantly north facing,and lie just south of the Duero River.

80 miles north of Madrid, Ribera del Duero is a region of beautiful landscape, extreme temperatures, and harsh intensity. While only being a D.O. since 1982, family run bodegas have been growing grapes and making wine for many generations. The region's combination of unique terroir, specific micro climates, and years of study and technique of their native grape Tempranillo, make for suburb and complex wines.

Good, but I'm not sure how to describe it--maybe earthy? Didn't try it with food, but it seemed to bring out the sweetness in buttery crackers--if that's possible. Would probably be nice with red meat. I like it.
