Bodegas Arzuaga La Planta Ribera del Duero 2023 750ml

La Planta offers a fresher, more youthful expression of Ribera del Duero. Made from Tinto Fino, the wine is vibrant and fruit-driven, with aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, violets, and subtle notes of spice. The palate is juicy and energetic, with supple tannins and a fresh finish. This is an incredibly versatile wine at the table—pair it with grilled pork, roasted chicken, charcuterie, or a classic Spanish tortilla. - Oscar Garcia Moncada, 67 Wine Buyer

Winemaker Description 

The wine has been crafted from grapes cultivated at La Planta estate, owned by Arzuaga Navarro’s family in Quintanilla de Onésimo, the heart of Ribera del Duero. The soil is clay-calcareous and the subsoil is pure limestone at one meter under the surface. The vineyard altitude is 911 meters above sea level. These specific conditions provide distinct features of the wine.

The wine boasts a deep violet red color. Clean and bright with a range of red fruits (raspberry and cherry) that dominate with a high aromatic intensity, joined by balsamic, cacao, coffee, and roasted tones. Fresh, elegant, easy, and balanced in the mouth with a lightly sweet, toasted, and pleasant aftertaste.
