/ 100% TempranilloÁster El Espino marks the new contemporary style of Ribera del Duero, a new trend that seeks to reconcile the classic Ribera de Duero style of pompous, intense, powerful, fruity wines with a new style of wines with more elegance, sophistication, delicacy, balance.
This is what El Espino brings: a today's Ribera that combines vigor and elegance, power and delicacy, terroir and distinction. Slender, courteous, charming. Current and vibrant. Ample and tasty wine, with an outstanding contemporary riverside character, at an optimal moment of enjoyment.
