Díaz Bayo 15 Meses Ribera del Duero Crianza 2023, 0,75 L

Ribera del Duero, more than almost any other region, is synonymous with powerful red wines with depth – and the Díaz Bayo Crianza 2023 demonstrates this impressively. Having spent 15 months in barrique, it already offers significantly more structure and complexity than younger Ribera wines, without losing any of its freshness.

In the glass, it appears deep, dark and dense. On the nose, there are plenty of dark berry fruits, along with toasty aromas from the wood, a hint of leather and a touch of spice – complex and inviting at the same time.

On the palate, it is powerful and juicy, with ripe, well-integrated tannins and a lively acidity that adds tension. Dark cherry and blackberry meet delicate vanilla notes from the oak, whilst the finish is long and spicy.

A Ribera del Duero with plenty of character, which is already a great pleasure to drink. Perfect with meat dishes, stews or a strong, mature cheese.
