Pruno, Finca Villacreces

Grapes: Tempranillo , Cab sab
 
Robert Parker has described Finca Villacreces as “the hidden jewel of Ribera del Duero”. Based in the heart of Ribera del Duero, the estate forms part of the ‘golden mile’ along with its neighbour Vega Sicilia, Pingus to the west and other similarly high-profile estates.
The vineyards of Finca Villacreces follow what is called ‘integrated viticulture’, using canopy management and natural treatments, instead of artificial chemicals
This wine is deep red in colour. Aromas of red berry fruit are married with notes of toffee from French oak ageing. The fruit-driven palate is complemented by notes of liquorice, with well-integrated tannins and a juicy finish.
