Miros de Ribera Miros de Ribera del Duero D.O Crianza 2018, 0,75 L

When it comes to Crianza, one might not immediately envision monumental wines like this Ribera del Duero gem. Yet, it's precisely in this region where wines exude unparalleled power, even at the "small" Crianza level, matured for a substantial 18 months in the barrel.

Harvested from grapes cultivated at an impressive altitude of 920 meters above sea level, each grape undergoes meticulous handling, beginning with selection in small 15 kg crates, followed by sorting table scrutiny, destemming, and gentle crushing. The fermentation process, carried out under cool conditions, ensures optimal extraction of colour and tannins.

The 2018 vintage beckons you with a mere glance into the glass, revealing a deep, dense hue that unmistakably signals the wine's formidable presence. On the nose, a harmonious balance unfolds, boasting fruity nuances of raspberry intertwined with unmistakable notes of blueberries. Wood flavours, accented by hints of vanilla and coffee, add complexity to the aromatic profile. Surprisingly fresh on the palate, yet undeniably robust, with ripe tannins asserting their presence. The lively acidity imparts a refreshing edge, harmoniously rounding off the wine's profile. It's a wine that seamlessly marries intensity with drinkability, embodying the quintessence of Ribera del Duero. A wine poised to offer immense enjoyment as it continues to mature.
