Buro Vendemia Seleccionada 2017, Ribera del Duero, Spain

Tempranillo at its most profound comes from (in our opinion) Ribera del Duero. Scattered with old, twisted vines - it produces rich, inky, age-worthy wines. As it's only a couple of hours drive north of Madrid, it is loved by the jet set. And two of Spain's most revered wineries are in the region (Vega Sicilia - which we also stock - and Dominio de Pingus). While Bodegas Pascual isn't quite in the same league, it is pretty damn good, and comparatively great value (the average age of vines is 50 years).
