JESÚS YLLERA

GRAPE: Tempranillo and Cabernet Sauvignon

APPELLATION: Ribera del Duero DO.

VINIFICATION: Produced only in excellent vintages. Hand harvested in small crates. Double sorting, first in the vineyard and the ninth ecellar. Carefully optical selection of the grape and filled by gravity. Whole grapes without stem, to extract maximum fruit aromas. Daily pumping during the process.

TASTING NOTES: It has a deep and intense cherry-red colour. Very aromatic and explosive nose, modern and elegant. We can appreciate nice ripe black fruits (plum, blackberry, blueberry) with intense notes of vanilla, cocoa, liquorice, toast and other nice spicy and mineral hints (flint, pencil mine).
Powerful tannins. Full body wine, dense, delicate, wide and velvety. Nice acidity which makes it very fresh, with a long and elegant finish that invites you to have another glass.

FOOD PAIRING: Chili con carne, barbecued beef with dry marinade, duck salad with strawberries, filet mignon with pepper corn sauce, mixed grillof beef, sausage and chicken, rib-eye steak with parmesan and salad, moussaka.
