"The top cuvĂŠe, from the vineyardâs oldest vines and lowest yields, is the deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Maduresa, a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Mando. Revealing an exceptional fragrance as well as full-bodied, concentrated flavors of white flowers, blueberries, raspberries, black fruits, espresso, scorched earth, and crushed rocks, it offers fabulous density, elegance, and length."

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.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
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.
