DO Ribera del Duero, Spain (100% Tinto Fino) 750 ml Aged in American oak for 7 months The production is classical: vintage is made by hand, fermentation takes place under controlled conditions, and after maceration of the wine with the skins, a slow pressing is made without stirring. TASTING NOTES With a stay of five to seven months in American oak barrels, it presents a bright red colour, with violet hues. At the nose it is intense with floral and red fruits aromas, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is broad, tasty, spiced, with a fruity retro nasal. Serve between 14º and 16º C. ANALYSIS Alcohol: 14% Vol Reducing sugars: 1.3 g/l Total acidity: 5,4 g/l RD13.

DO Bierzo, Spain (100% Mencia) 750 ml Best Value Mencias by the New York Times September 2013 RECENT REVIEWS Dark plum and berry aromas hit with oomph and are accented by toasty, minerally notes. This Mencía is balanced and nicely textured, with blackberry, prune and licorice flavors. Some bitterness comes up on the finish, but mostly this ends like it starts, with jammy richness and dark-fruit notes. — 87 POINTS, M.S., Wine Enthusiast, 10/2013 .
