Description

Ramón Martínez, Jesús Yllera and José Yllera; three men with a long family wine tradition who came together in the 80s to share a challenge, with the spirit of doing something different and better in the Rueda area.The Yllera; descendants of a long family tradition dedicated to wine. Ramón Martínez; grandson of the founder of the Riojan Bodegas Berberana. United by a common project that they expanded over time, producing wines in other DOs and PGI

In the 2010s, they began this work of searching for excellence in Ribera de Duero, as it is one of the appellations with the greatest potential in Spain. They share this project with a remarkable teacher: Jean-Claude Berrouet, considered by many to be the best winemaker in the world.

Tasting Notes

Grape Blend: 97% Tempranillo (Fine red) 3% Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot

It's mostly Tempranillo with some Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot and has 13.9% alcohol. It fermented with neutral yeasts followed by an élevage that lasted 12 months in 70% used barrels, 20% new ones and 10% in concrete eggs. This shows very good freshness and elegance, a style I have also seen in some of the Yllera wines from this vintage (Jesús Yllera and Yllera Dominus), floral, perfumed and elegant, with a vibrant palate with very good freshness and clean, focused flavors.
