LopezCristobal,TintoRoble2021

A great example of youthful Ribera del Duero from Bodegas Lopez Cristobal, based in the village of Roa, in the east of the region near Burgos. Tempranillo for this wine comes from 20 year old vines on limestone at 770 metres of altitude. A brief spell of 3 months in new French oak lifts the quality of this entry level wine. Five percent of Merlot is added for extra roundness. Deep cherry red colour, aromas of strawberry and forest fruits, freshness, concentration and well integrated oak.
