Tempranillo

Tomas Postigo has made with his name in Ribera del Duero mainly as the ex winemaker of Pago De Carraovejas. Tempranillo (Tinta Fina) 85%, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Merlot, and aged for 12 months in new French oak is a very high quality wine. Big dark prune like fruit with a real meat edge this is a blockbuster of a wine.

The deep crimson-coloured 2006 Quinta Sardonia gives up an aromatic array of cedar, Asian spices, incense, and blackberry. Savoury and supple on the palate, it has enough underlying structure to evolve for 2-3 years and should be at its best from 2012 to 2026.

A powerful, mature wine. With a clearly defined personality, very expressive and difficult to forget. A powerful, full mouth-feel with firm but not aggressive tannins. Lively, but at the same time showing great balance between body, acidity and alcohol. A fruity aftertaste, highly expressive and persistent.

A blend of estate-grown grapes aged for six years in oak. It has aromas of vanilla and dried fruit, flavours of rich red fruit, fine tannins and a long finish.

In his Ribera Del Duero 2022 Special Report, Tim Atkin MW tasted his way through 578 wines from 160 producers and chose the 2020 Mirum as his top wine of the year, awarding it with 98 points. That rates it as high as Pingus & Unico at a fraction of the price. No small feat for this estate which is rocketing into the echelons of Spanish wine.

Deep, dark and purple, this Tempranillo has wonderful meaty aromas of bacon, apple, dark cherry and forest floor. This wine is truly Autumn in a glass with balanced flavours of dark bing cherry, orange-infused chocolate, blackberry and hickory smoke. It has a gentle and long finish.

Beyra tinto offers an unoaked expression of cruncy berry fruit and spice, with super acidity. Less on tannin, more on flavour.
