Figuero 15 Reserva Ribera del Duero 2018
Tinto Figuero was born from a thousand vines, which were received by Jose MarÃa GarcÃa and Milagros Figuero in the year of their wedding, 1961. The Figuero philosophy is based on utmost respect and minimal intervention in the winemaking process. Therefore, nature is allowed to follow its course at every stage, accompanying the wines every step of the way. Winemakers Jean-François Hebrard and Óscar RodrÃguez form an essential partnership to bring together the two philosophies of know-how and laissez-faire as Figuero's way of understanding viticulture and oenology. In keeping with the philosophy, the old vines, spread between more than 50 growing areas, are vinified according to their classification in small tanks. In this way the personality of each area can be maintained and wines of three classifications are produced: Vino de Pueblo (village wines), Vino de Paraje (wines of the same viticultural area) and Vino de Parcela (single-plot wines). The Figuero vineyards are situated at 800m above sea level and are affected by the Mediterranean climate and continental influences.
Sierra Cantabria, Crianza, (Magnum) 2020
The 2020 Sierra Cantabria Crianza is an expressive Rioja that shows just how good Tempranillo can be in the right hands. Bright cherry and red plum aromas lead the way, layered with subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and a touch of toast from its time in oak. On the palate it’s medium-bodied, fresh, and silky, with juicy red fruit flavours balanced by gentle tannins and lively acidity. That classic Rioja elegance - polished yet easy to enjoy - makes this Crianza just as good with a weeknight roast chicken as it is alongside grilled lamb or tapas with friends. Made by the legendary Eguren family in Rioja, it spends 14 months in American and French oak, giving it a perfect balance of fruit and spice. A total crowd-pleaser!
