Bodegas Gormaz, a historic winery in the Ribera del Duero region, crafts its 12 Linajes Roble from high-altitude, pre-phylloxera vineyards with calcareous soils. As a Roble, this wine is aged in oak barrels for a shorter time, resulting in a youthful and vibrant character. The winemaking process focuses on selecting top-quality grapes and careful oak aging, which enhances the wine's balance and elegance. The result is a wine with intense aromas of ripe berries and vanilla, and a velvety palate with a well-rounded finish and fresh, lively notes.
