Pago de Carraovejas 2024
The Pago de Carraovejas winery presents the 2024 vintage of the famed wine Pago de Carraovejas.
Virtually a varietal Tinto Fino (Tempranillo), nuanced with a 2% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot, this Spanish red wine is sourced from 100+ parcels planted between 1988 and 2011 near the town of Peñafiel, in the heart of DO Ribera del Duero.
The grapes went through a triple sorting process before being were fermented with native yeasts. Then the wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels of different sizes.
After that, the red wine Pago de Carraovejas 2024 was clarified with egg whites prior to bottling in the spring of 2026.
Finally, it was cellared for some months before its commercial release.
We recommend that you decant this red wine from Ribera del Duero 30 minutes before you drink it.
Pair this Crianza red wine with hearty meat dishes.
