Carlos Rodriguez Trigales Seleccion Barrica
About the wine
The same exact wine that goes into world-famous barrel-aged Ribera del Duero for a fraction of the price.
- A deep, ruby-colored wine chock full of intensely ripe red fruit and spices with a hint toasty oak and jammy deliciousness. This is very serious wine with a year of oak barrel-aging.
- This is what's called a de-classified wine. That means it was the insanely good stuff meant to go into a world-famous appellation (Ribera del Duero in this case), but for some small technicality, the wine couldn't use the appellation on the label. Angels are smart enough to know that what's inside the bottle counts more than what's on the label, so we funded Carlos in full.
- He says a wine this intense and richly developed at a price like this only comes along once in a century. You have to seize these opportunities when they come along!
