Tasting Note
Youthful, fresh and approachable. Ripe red berries and cherries with hints of vanilla and spice; juicy and silky, with soft tannins and a light touch of oak.
Drink it with: mushroom dishes, or soft cheeses like Brie and Camembert.
The Winemaking
Hand-picked into small 11kg boxes and double-sorted, then fermented in temperature-controlled steel and aged for ten months in used French oak.
The Vineyards
Vines averaging 25 years old from two high sites: La Aguilera (820–850m) and Moradillo de Roa (960m). Altitude means slow ripening and concentrated fruit.
The Producer
Dominio de Cair is the Luis Cañas family's Ribera del Duero estate in La Aguilera, with small plots of old vines at around 900 metres, surrounded by forest.
