Ribera del Duero essentials

The Ribera del Duero is perhaps the Spanish denomination of origin which has grown the fastest in terms of quality and popularity, to such an extent that it features among the favourite regions of a good number of consumers both at home in Spain and outside the country abroad. However, there are still those who believe wines from the Ribera are inevitably expensive, a subject that will make itself scarce moments after opening the bottles making up this selection. Even the most vociferous detractor of Ribera wines would realise that price doesn't have to be a hindrance to enjoying some of the Ribera's magnificent reds. These six wines are Crianzas and Robles, half Crianzas as such, with huge fruit expression and great results from time in barrel which rounds off the aromas of the eternally pleasant Tinta Fina; versatile, juicy and food-friendly wines, and very easy to understand.
