About the region

Ribera del Duero lies on Spain's high Duero plateau, where extreme temperature swings between day and night produce concentrated grapes. The region grows almost exclusively Tempranillo, known locally as Tinto Fino, and is home to the country's most legendary estate, Vega Sicilia. The wines are deep, powerful and age-worthy with dark berries, firm tannins and great structure.

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
