ARROCAL RIBERA DEL DUERO TINTO 2022

Arrocal Ribera del Duero Tinto 2022 is a distinguished Spanish red wine crafted by Bodegas Arrocal, showcasing the rich heritage of the Ribera del Duero region. This wine is made exclusively from 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) grapes, sourced from organically farmed vines aged between 20 to 25 years.

Tasting Notes: The wine exhibits a deep ruby hue with garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of ripe black fruits, such as black cherries and dark berries, complemented by subtle hints of cigar wrapper, clove, and woodsmoke. The palate is bright and full-bodied, featuring a good core of ripe fruit, fine soil signature, ripe, chewy tannins, and a long, vibrant, and nascently complex finish.

Vinification and Aging: The grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed before undergoing fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in three-year-old French and American oak barrels for approximately nine months prior to bottling, allowing for a harmonious integration of flavors and a refined structure.

Food Pairing: This versatile wine pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including grilled lamb, roasted meats, aged cheeses, and hearty stews. Its robust structure and complex flavor profile make it a delightful accompaniment to rich and savory cuisine.
