Finca Torremilanos, Ribera del Duero Reserva “Torre Albéniz”, Ribera del Duero, Spain 2018
{biodynamic} 100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo)
RICH, DARK & MUSCULAR. BLACK FRUITS, SMOKY OAK & SPICES.
Her small size and Duracell Bunny-like energy aside, you’d never know that Pilar Pérez de Albeniz has been running Finca Torremilanos for over fifty years. Her sons mainly do the day to day work now, but she’s still the CEO and this is her favorite wine of the dozens they produce each year. Like her, this is a wine for the ages. Expect it to charm and surprise you and maybe even tell you secrets about its origins.
Serving Suggestion: Pilar loves fries, but with this wine I’d suspect she’d want to have some beef grilled over vine cuttings, or some hardwood charcoal if you don’t have access to a vineyard.
