Dominio del Soto Ribera del Duero Albillo

DO Ribera Del Duero, Spain

Tasting Notes

The wine is golden yellow with a complex nose displaying fruity notes of pears, white blossoms and a smoky and butter side.  The palate develops a fine structure, a nice smooth character and a smoky and saline finish which gives the wine excellent length.

Stir fried calamari fish, grilled snapper or grilled chicken and vegetables. Best enjoyed between 10-12 C.

The grapes are picked by hand and placed into crates. Direct pressing in whole bunches, cold static settling, fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel vat (70%) and demi-muid barrels (30%). No malolactic fermentation.  The wine is then aged on its lees for 12 months.

The vineyards are planted on old terraces lying at altitude (850-900m above sea level). Deep clay-limestone and even marly-limestone soil.

Grapes: 100% Albillo Mayor Alcohol by Volume: 12.5%

    "A pure and expressive albillo mayor showing lots of brightness, sliced apples, minerals and some white fruit and macadamia nuts. Nervy and sharp on the palate, but there is enough substance and weigh to balance the acidity. Drink or hold."
