Ribera del Duero • Spain
"The precision of the Roa terroir in an exceptional vintage: a Tempranillo with a noble soul, where power yields to an unusual finesse and mineral freshness."
Aristocratic Elegance

Born on the Santa Marta estate (Roa), this signature red wine, under the consultancy of the legendary Stéphane Derenoncourt, redefines the standard for Ribera del Duero. The 2020 vintage stands out for its ability to combine tannic concentration with a fluidity and elegance rarely found in the region, offering a deep, balanced, and purely mineral experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it a "modern style" or traditional wine?
It sits at a new vanguard: it respects the power of Ribera del Duero but utilizes minimal intervention techniques and very subtle oak aging to prioritize French elegance over aggressive wood.
Can it be drunk now or is it better to store it?
The 2020 vintage is already extremely pleasant due to its polished tannins, but it possesses the necessary structure to evolve and gain complexity over the next decade.
