"The 2004 Malleolus de Valderramiro has the deepest color aside from the 2009. Dense, rich, powerful but also elegant, this is a suave offering . . . . It admirably reflects the greatness of the 2004 vintage in Ribera del Duero."

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
On Spain's high central plateau, Ribera del Duero makes powerful, concentrated Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). Wide day-night temperature swings yield deeply colored, structured and age-worthy reds.
Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
