Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Intense garnet colour, with a more tawny-coloured rim due to the long ageing in barrel and bottle undergone by these great wines. The nose is intense and complex, with very ripe fruit mixed with notes of spices such as aromatic cloves. Upon aeration, it unveils aromas of caramel, vanilla and patisserie. An ample, round and velvety wine. It is full-bodied and persistent on the palate, very polished, with well-integrated oak, making it a very elegant wine.

It goes well with large and small game dishes, wild boar, venison, roebuck. Roast red meats or stews beef, suckling pig or lamb. Rich sauces or dressings of aromatic herbs. Mature cheeses and highquality, dark chocolate with around 70% cocoa solids.

    This is funky, packed with Mediterranean spice and meaty notes, which add complexity to the strawberry and blackberry fruit. Generously ripe, it’s a match for morcilla.

Notoriously food-friendly, long-lasting and Spain’s most widely planted grape, Tempranillo is the star variety of red wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero. The Rioja terms Joven, Crianza, Reserva and Gran Reserva indicate both barrel and bottle time before release. Traditionally blended in Rioja with Garnacha, plus a bit of Mazuelo (Carignan) and Graciano, the Tempranillo in Ribera del Duero typically stands alone. Somm Secret—Tempranillo claims many different names depending on location. In Penedès, it is called Ull de Llebre and in Valdepeñas, goes by Cencibel. Known as Tinta Roriz in Portugal, Tempranillo plays an important role in Port wine.

Ribera del Duero, Spanish wine region, is located in northen Spain’s Castilla y León region, just a 2-hour drive from Madrid. While winemaking in this area goes back more than 2000 years, it was in the 1980s that 9 wineries applied for and were granted Denominación de Origen (D.O.) status. Today, more than 300 wineries call Ribera del Duero home, including some of Spain’s most iconic names.

Notable Facts Ribera’s main grape variety, Tempranillo, locally know as Tinto Fino, is perfectly suited to the extreme climate of the region, where it must survive scorching summers and frigid winters. Low yields resulting from conscientious tending to old vines planted in Ribera’s diverse soils types, give Ribera wines a distinctive depth and complexity not found in other Tempranillos. Rich and full-bodied, the spice, dark fruit and smoky flavors in a bold Ribera del Duero will pair well with roasted and grilled meats, Mexican food and tomato-based sauces.
