Ausas Interpretacion Ribera Del Duero 2018 750 ML

Ribera benefited from regular seasons and a very cold winter in 2018, according to Xavier Ausàs, which is why he’s such a fan of the vintage. This is the third release of this excellent, pan-Rioja blend from Vega Sicilia’s long-term former winemaker and is his best yet. Combining Tinto Fino grapes from five villages between 780 and 900m, it’s a subtle, refined red that carries its 15% alcohol with ease, showing chalky minerality, scented 35% new wood, tobacco and red berry fruit flavours and a long, stylish, lightly balsamic finish. Drinking Window 2022 – 2028.
