Description

Lleiroso · DO Ribera del Duero

Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) from the Ribera del Duero DO, grown in Lleiroso’s vineyards in Valbuena de Duero. It ages for six months in French and American oak barrels, enough to round it off without masking the fruit. This is the house’s young wine, meant to be drunk earlier than the Crianza and with a more direct profile.
