Wow! There’s serious quality here. The warm2015 growing season perfectly complements the cooling limestone soils, providing an elegance rarely found in Ribera del Duero. Layer upon layer of complexity unfurl with time - really pretty rose petal tones, overlaying dark plums and smokey salineminerality. Peter Sisseck continues to produce fantastic wines, and now the vines aremature they will only get better.

It is easily apparent why this is the flagship, incredible finesse, densely packed layers of fruit and explosive perfume. Dense and brooding, it is only just beginning to show its potential, it will be incredible when it reaches its peak. There’s huge concentration and crunchy tannins with an underlying freshness too to keep it all balanced. The cooler vintage gives effortless elegance alongside the power found naturally in Ribera.
