"The 2010 Almirez is the least productive vintage since 1998. It is very different from the 2011, with more open dark plum and red currant fruit as well as hints of cranberry leaf. Again, the oak is nicely integrated and playing a complementary rather than dominant role. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, crisp acidity and fine tension. It tightens towards the finish, but bottle age should allow it to unfurl . . ."

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.
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.
