Finca Torremilanos Montecastrillo Red 2021: A Vibrant Organic Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero

92 points. "An expressive Spanish red showcasing the richness of Ribera del Duero." – Wine Enthusiast

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Deep garnet red.
• Nose: Aromas of ripe red fruits such as cherries and raspberries, complemented by subtle vanilla and toast from oak aging. There’s a hint of spice, which adds complexity to the aromatic profile.
• Palate: Full-bodied and structured, the wine delivers flavors of juicy red fruit, complemented by earthy undertones and well-integrated tannins. The oak aging lends nuances of vanilla and tobacco, while the acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced.
• Finish: The long, elegant finish leaves a pleasant aftertaste of dark fruit and a touch of oak, enhancing the wine's complexity.

The Story Behind the Wine: Produced by Finca Torremilanos, one of the pioneering organic and biodynamic wineries in Ribera del Duero, the Montecastrillo Red 2021 is crafted from 100% Tempranillo (also known as Tinta del País). This estate, owned by the Peñalba López family, has been making wines since 1903, and they focus on preserving the natural qualities of their vineyards. The 2021 vintage was aged for 8 months in French and American oak barrels, allowing the wine to develop its complexity and smooth tannins​.
