Alonso del Yerro
Magnum Edition 2019 • 1.5L
"The essence of the Alonso del Yerro family in legendary format. A red wine that redefines elegance in Ribera del Duero: sophisticated, structured, and blessed with glorious evolution in the bottle."
The Grandeur of Time
The 2019 Alonso del Yerro in Magnum format (1.5L) is the ultimate choice for the collector. In this format, the ratio of air to wine is lower, which allows the Tempranillo from Roa to develop a complexity and velvety texture unattainable in standard bottles. Under the guidance of Stéphane Derenoncourt, this excellent vintage exhibits a mineral freshness and fruit depth that guarantee a sensory experience that will only improve over the coming decades.
