It’s made from Tempranillo vines from the La Colorada Estate and is produced as a Crianza.
Tasting note from the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles: A complex bouquet with a delicate blend of elegant black fruits – blueberry, blackberry and blackcurrant – and intense menthol notes. Hints of cigar and chocolate add depth, supported by subtle oak. On the palate, freshness and elegant tannins combine with generous fullness to create an intense, refined experience
López Cristóbal Parcela Uno 2021:
Made exclusively with Tinto del País from the Valera Estate, the vineyard is located at an altitude of 790 meters above sea level. With vines that are over 35 years old vines, there are gravel soils with a limestone base. Its name refers to the fact that it was the first plot planted by Santiago and Galo after the creation of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin.
Tasting note from the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles : An intense bouquet opens with notes of blackcurrant, wrapped in chocolate and balsamic accents. Hints of eucalyptus, mint and tobacco add complexity and evolution. On the palate, fullness and structure are combined with freshness to produce a fine, elegant wine. A wine of great aromatic and gustatory intensity.
