Product Description
Details
A varietal Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero, Avelino Vegas Áureo is produced by Bodegas Avelino Vegas from vineyards 50 years old on average.
Hand-harvested at their optimal ripening time, the grapes were first refrigerated on arriving in the cellar. Then this Spanish red wine was cold-soaked for 5 days and fermented in inverted truncated cone-shaped diposits under controlled temperature.
Afterwards one third of Avelino Vegas Áureo 2017 remained in the tanks, one third was transferred into French oak barrels and the other third went into egg-shaped concrete diposits. All three portions went through malolactic fermentation, after which it was aged for 14 months in French oak barrels and concrete diposits.
Pair this red wine from Ribera del Duero with hearty game dishes.
Aerate this Crianza red wine some time before drinking.

fine Ribera
Powerful, deep and balsamic - pine needles, balsam and dry earth. Very Ribera indeed.
