If you hang around with Ken over at Seaboy, you never know what he'll pour!....
The truism of a great wine is balance and beautiful fruit, especially in Ribera Del Duero...This is a young wine that is showing beautifully today.
...and certainly is a reflection of Peter Sisseck's leadership...

Producer notes...
All of the estate vineyards are certified organic, and this is pure Tinta del País, the local strain of Tempranillo, from 40 hectares in five different locations (parajes) of the village of La Horra where the Pingus vineyards are also located. It fermented with natural yeasts and also natural malolactic and matured for 18 months in French oak barrels, 25% new.
I suppose one of the big differences is French oak used in Ribera del Duero vs American oak in Rioja?
