Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does this wine have aging potential?
Although Sardón was conceived to be enjoyed for its immediate freshness and intensity, its balanced structure allows it to evolve favorably in the bottle for the next 4 to 6 years.
Why doesn't it have the Ribera del Duero D.O. status?
Because it is sourced from plots located on the boundaries of the designation and seeks a freer, more native, and biodynamic winemaking style, it is bottled under the V.T. (Vino de la Tierra) de Castilla y León indication to preserve the winery's original vision.
Does it need decanting or aeration?
It does not require mandatory decanting, but it benefits from 15 to 20 minutes of oxygenation to unfold its full aromatic richness in the glass.
