"The 1994 Valsotillo Reserva (made from 100% Tinta del Pais that spent 24 months in oak) is powerful, evolved, and intoxicating in terms of its brash display of blackberry liqueur intermixed with licorice, mineral, and floral scents. This opaque purple-colored, full-bodied wine is brawny, expansive, rich, and brilliantly well-balanced."

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.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
