Description
Carmelo Rodero runs his family owned bodegas in the Ribera town of Pedrosa de Duero. The fruit for this entry-level cuvee is from young vines, 5 to 15 years old. The wine is aged for 9 months in French oak barrels, so is effectively half way between a roble and a crianza. The bottle is aged for 3 months before releasing to market.
Tasting Note
On the nose, an intense aroma of flowers and wild berries, united with creamy and vanilla touches, specific to its ageing in wood. The mid-palate is broad, elegant, persistent and velvety.
