Geology and Soil
Vineyards over 25 years old selected from small plots of dry land.
Poor, with sand and boulders, with a clayey and calcareous bottom.
The climatology of the Ribera del Duero falls within a Mediterranean climate whose main character is continentality, an extreme climate: dry summers, long and harsh winters, low rainfall (400-500 average mm/year) and a large thermal oscillation ( from -20º to 42º C). A consequence of all this is the extraordinary quality of the grape, small in size, thick skin and perfect, slow and late ripening.
Pairing
En Made in Spain Gourmet We recommend it with semi-cured goat and sheep cheeses, white meats and game bird stews. Also with chocolate.
