Aroma: dark plum, blackberry, tobacco, vanilla

Palate: dark cherry, dried herbs, cedar, earthy mineral

Traditional extended-oak Reserva from Bodegas Reyes: dark plum, tobacco and vanilla from 20 months in mixed-species oak, with earthy mineral notes reflecting the Pedrosa de Duero clay-limestone terroir.

What it pairs with

  • Cochinillo asado
    Firm tannins, dark fruit and cedar match the richness of Castilian roast suckling pig.
  • Grilled ribeye with pimenton butter
    Structured wine needs the richness and smokiness of the paprika-basted steak.
  • Aged Torta del Casar
    The wine's firm tannins are softened by the creamy, pungent sheep's-milk cheese.

History

The Teofilo Reyes Reserva follows the traditional style of the founding winemaker, with extended oak ageing in a mix of American and French barrels that was typical of the early-quality Ribera del Duero era.
