Description
The 2023 Quinta Milú Ribera del Duero is a vibrant expression of Spain’s esteemed Tempranillo grape, meticulously crafted by winemaker Germán R. Blanco in the village of La Aguilera. Embracing organic viticulture, the vines average 50 years in age and are situated at altitudes between 870 and 908 meters, thriving in clay-limestone soils. Harvested by hand in late September, the grapes undergo spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in stainless steel tanks, open oak barrels, and large oak vats. The wine is then aged for approximately seven months in seasoned French oak barrels of varying sizes, allowing it to develop depth while preserving its fresh, fruit-forward character. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal sulfur addition, this wine exemplifies a commitment to minimal intervention winemaking
