Pago de los Capellanes Reserva

Drawn from the oldest parcels on the Pago de los Capellanes estate, this Ribera del Duero Reserva is built on Tinto Fino vines that are over 80 years old, rooted in chalk, clay and gravel at Pedrosa de Duero. After a cold pre-fermentation and 20 days of alcoholic fermentation, the wine spends 14 months in fine-grain 300-litre French oak barrels followed by two full years of bottle ageing before release. Deeply concentrated and elegantly structured: dark plum, cherry reduction, cedary spice and dried violet on the nose, with a palate of ripe, well-integrated tannins and impressive length. Excellent with roast lamb, game or aged hard cheese. Exclusively imported in Malta by Briffa Wine Selections, with free delivery on orders over €30.
