Figuero 15 Months Riserva - Ribera del Duoro

For many years, winemaker José María García supplied his coveted grapes from vineyards where the vines are between 40 and 80 years old to the top house Pesquera. But in the late 1990s, he invested in a completely new winery, where the wine is only transported around the winery by gravity. A so-called "all gravity" winery. The gentle treatment of the must, without pumps, ensures that the wine has the greatest possible stability and retains all its aromas.

The Reserva with 15 months in 100% French oak barrels is literally packed with wild blueberries, boysenberries, spices and bold, soft, almost oily fruit. Extremely well-built wine, where the word 'balance' comes to mind from the first sip. Ribera del Duero has been the leader in the Spanish wine world for many years. Names like Pesquera, Pingus and Vega Sicilia inspire awe in every wine lover, and the wines are in great demand all over the world. Figueros 15 meses are old vines, 100% Tempranillo and aging in barrels of the highest quality.
