WINE DESCRIPTION
Quinta Milú Ribera del Duero is youthful, dry red wine produced by a rising young winemaker in Spain's Ribera del Duero appellation. The hot local climate is tempered by the vineyards lying at higher altitudes. The vineyards for this wine are particularly high at almost 3,000 feet above sea level. The cool nights at this elevation help to retain freshness in the wine. Playing to this location, the Tempranillo grapes are picked earlier to produce a medium bodied style that sees less time in oak that most Ribera del Duero style to prevent the fruit from being overwhelmed. This is a great selection for anyone looking to explore moderen, high-altitude Spanish wine or those seeking an restrained, and affordable, entry point to the Ribera de Duero style.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This medium-bodied red wine from Ribera del Duero, Spain, is a stunning example of Tinta del Pais, the local clone of Tempranillo.On the nose, you'll find ripe red fruits, such as plums and cherries, coupled with delicate hints of sweet spices. On the palate, the wine has firm tannins and lean acidity with layers of juicy red fruits. Notes of cedar linger on the finish. Enjoy this exquisite wine with hard cheeses, and charcuterie.
