Description
In a nutshell:
A bold, velvety Ribera del Duero with lush blackberry and plum flavours, a touch of spice, and a smooth, well-structured finish.
The lowdown:
Intended to be enjoyed young, this Ribera del Duero is a blend of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from Finca Villacreces's own younger vines. Each varietal is aged separately in second and third-year French oak for 12 months before blending. It bursts with ripe damsons and blueberries, balanced by savoury hints of liquorice, cedar, and dried herbs, with a distinct stony minerality. Rounded tannins and a juicy finish complete this charmingly authentic, rich and refined wine.
The Producer:
Described by Robert Parker as "the hidden jewel of Ribera del Duero", Finca Villacreces sits proudly on the region's renowned 'golden mile', with esteemed neighbours like Vega Sicilia and Pingus. Nestled in Quintanilla de Onésimo, the estate has been run by the Antón family of Izadi since 2003, with winemaker Ángel Ortega crafting wines of depth and focus. Practising integrated viticulture, Finca Villacreces favours natural treatments and canopy management over chemicals, letting the unique mix of sand, gravel, shingle, and quartz soils shine through. The result is low yielding, concentrated, intensely flavoured wines that really standout.
When to drink:
Pair it with slow-cooked lamb with rosemary or chorizo-stuffed pork loin, where its deep fruit and spice notes beautifully complement the rich, savoury flavours.
Suitable for Vegans, Organic
