BODEGAS ZIFAR
Ribera del Duero, Spain
Since its inception in 2005, they have embraced the vision of developing a high-quality wine concept in the heart of the Denomination of Origin of Ribera del Duero. Their pristine viticulture relies on the vines planted in their distinct soils and in their vineyards that are over 100 years old. Jean Marc Sauboua, their wine advisor with international experience and recognition, together with Bequer Prieto, deliver the best structure, quality, and unique personality of each wine every year.
The vineyards are located in the special and valuable Pesquera del Duero and Quintanilla de Arriba where they grow Tempranillo and Albillo Mayor with very good acidity that brings a lot of fruit and value to the wines.
This single-vineyard Tempranillo from the oldest vines on the estate is a rockstar. Red fruit stands out, with currants, strawberries and licorice. The wood is almost a companion that leaves a finish of cinnamon, and hints of white pepper. Fresh, with the identity of the terroir, and the altitude of the vineyard that it comes from, agile, with fine touches of spices, elegant, deep. Drink now or hold for 10-15 years with ease. 12 months French Oak.
