LEGENDARY WINE
RIBERA DEL DUERO AGE-WORTHY
"The ultimate expression of the Duero: massive power and aristocratic elegance. Born from century-old vines, it offers profound minerality and legendary aging potential."
Monumentality and Time
This Legendary Wine represents the pinnacle of viticulture in the Ribera del Duero. Crafted exclusively from Tinta del País grapes from vineyards over a century old, it is a red wine of overwhelming opulence. Its nearly three-year maturation in new French oak is not intended to tame the fruit, but to imbue it with an architectural structure capable of challenging decades in the bottle. A jewel for collectors seeking the purest and longest-lived essence of Spain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should the Legendary Age-Worthy Wine be decanted?
Due to its high concentration and extended years in the barrel, this wine needs oxygen to "open up." We suggest decanting for a minimum period of 2 hours so that the tertiary aromas and black fruit can fully express themselves.
What is its true aging potential?
This wine has been designed for extreme longevity. Under optimal cellar conditions (constant temperature of 14°C-16°C and 70% humidity), it will evolve favorably for 20 to 30 years.
