100% Tempranillo from vineyards in La Horra, La Aguilera and Roa. Aged in oak for 8 months. Quite expressive nose with aromas of red and dark fruit, tobacco and some oaky notes. Fresh, strawberry notes on the palate. Balanced, easy to drink — a year ago

Wow! Fabulous from very old Tempranillo vines in Roa Del Duero. The Esteban family maintains their 60 ha of vines meticulously using extensive biodynamic practices and precise winemaking. It shows in the wine. Black fruit and currants meld harmoniously with hints of tobacco, coffee, licorice, and mineral. The texture is rich; the concentration of fruit is dense. This is a seriously good bottle of wine that WS gave 96 pts. 2016 vintage on Feb 11, 2020 — 5 years ago

Vintage 2019 | 12 m 60 gamay 40 pinot noir| tasted blind my colleague tasters say: Spain? Quite complex in smell, spicy, good structure, but still tannins and potential. More pleasure with some pieces of cheese. Nice wine. — 3 months ago

Rustic. Roa petal perfume. Spritzy. Tar. I could smell this forever. Air is kind. Tight when poured. Cranberries. Bitter. Match made in heaven with lamb chops at Adalina. — 3 years ago
