Antonio Díez Martín Ribera del Duero Crianza 2017
About the wine
Specially-aged Spanish red straight from Antonio's very own estate vineyards
- If you love a classic Tempranillo, wait 'til you get a taste of this delectable Crianza (aged a minimum of two years, one in oak) – rich red fruits, peppery spice and a luxurious finish will leave your taste buds wanting more.
- Angel funding helped Antonio harvest grapes from one of Spain's most prestigious regions on the banks of the Duero river. The stony river soil makes the vines work twice as hard, yielding fruit with intense flavor and complexity.
- Your scrumptious red is perfect for savory dishes like juicy rack of lamb with freshly-cracked pepper. (Don’t forget to let it breathe for a bit before sipping.) ¡Salud!
Best before
Thanks to a year of special aging in oak, this delectable red will age beautifully for at least the next 10 years. It is delicious now, and will be even more delicious over the next three to four years!
Serving advice
Intense, complex wines from the Ribera del Duero improve greatly with decanting, or being left to breathe at least two hours before serving, Antonio says, which gives the wine time to open up and show its flavors and aromas to the fullest.
Food match
Antonio's personal favorite pairing with this red is roast lamb. "It is our local dish," he says, "and our speciality for family events."
