In the land of Ribera del Duero, known for its powerful wines and heavy oak influence, winemaker Germán Blanco stands out with a different approach. He's the force behind a 'micro-winery' in the village of La Aguilera, Burgos, where he champions a fresher, more elegant expression of Tinto del Pais (Tempranillo). Working with old vines, many planted at over 900 metres, Germán blends traditional methods like foot-treading and wild yeast fermentation with a minimalist touch.
The result? Wines that showcase purity of fruit, rustic charm, and vibrant freshness, all while steering away from the region’s typical boldness. This wine, slightly more structured than his Milú, is aged for 15 months in a mix of new and old oak, giving it added depth without compromising drinkability. It’s a full-bodied, organic Tempranillo that’s perfect for hearty dishes and cooler evenings.
