2015 Dominio del Aguila Penas Aladas Ribera del Duero Gran Riserva
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
Peña Aladas, or winged stones, refers to a tiny group of small, rocky vineyard plots well over 100 years old in age and surrounded by pine forests. Like old vineyards elsewhere in Spain, there is a mix of grape varieties. About 85% is planted to Tempranillo with the remainder a mix of Cariñena, Bruñal, Bobal, Albillo, Garnacha and others. These sites are picked by hand, and the fruit sees a natural yeast, co-fermentation in tank before racking into French oak barrels for 51 months of aging in the deep and cold cellars of Dominio del Águila.
