Ribera del Duero Roble Montevannos
Origin: Ribera del Duero, Spain
Grapes: 90% Tempranillo and 10% Merlot
Tasting Notes: Wines from the Ribera del Duero region are less well-known in the UK than Riojas, but they are very highly regarded in Spain. These rich in character wines are richly composed of Tempranillo grapes (like Riojas are too), but tend to have a more subtle oakiness and depth of flavour. Blackberry fruits combine with a hint of lightly sun dried herbs.
Food Pairing: Particularly suited with roasted meats, game dishes and mature cheeses.
