The 2005 Crianza was aged for 12 months in American oak. Purple-colored, it has a fragrant nose of cedar, pencil lead, tobacco, spice box, and blackberry. This leads to a dense, medium to full-bodied wine with significant structure. With more than enough fruit for balance, this packed wine will evolve for 3-5 years and drink well through 2025.
Bodegas Matarromera is an 80-hectare estate located in the heart of the Ribera del Duero D.O. These two wines are 100% Tinta del Pais, the local name for Tempranillo.
