$17.00
- 100% Tempranillo
- Certified biodynamic
A wonderful Ribera del Duero that delivers the power of Tempranillo without being overblown. Founded in 1903, Finca Torremilanos is the second oldest estate in Ribera del Duero behind only Vega Sicilia. Local legend Pilar Pérez Albéniz still runs the show here with her sons in charge of winemaking and sales. They produce a series of fantastic wines with biodynamic certification that we really love. Their 'Montecastrillo' bottling comes from the estate's younger vines and is a dark, powerful Tempranillo that remains restrained, balanced and fresh - a rare find in a region known for high alcohol and heavy oak. Dark berries, soft tannins, pure fruit - very well made.
