About the wine
Marta hand-picks only her most pristine fruit for this elegant Ribera del Duero
- Marta Castrillo and her team are super passionate about their land and creating authentic wines like this that represent their ‘terruño’. Every vine is farmed organically and with as little human intervention as possible, allowing them to create unique wines full of character and natural goodness.
-
Marta takes special pride in this, her showcase Crianza. Only picture-perfect, plump Tempranillo grapes are chosen for the crush, carefully selected from her eco-friendly, old-vine vineyards.
-
The result is a super-elegant Ribera del Duero. Intense and dark ruby in colour, its enticing aromas of clove and black fruit are finely balanced with luscious figs and ripe plums. It’s all rounded out with a dash of spice from French oak barrels to make a classic and well structured wine.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - César Maté and Marta Castrillo
- César and Marta are on a hunt for vineyards that boast old, high quality vines that have fallen on hard times. Vines like these are some of the wine worlds best kept secrets so Cesar and Marta have taken it upon themselves to find vineyards like these and restore them to their former glory
- As well as having some of the oldest vines going at their disposal, César and Marta work in a pretty exceptional region. Their vineyards in the Northern Spanish region of Ribera del Duero sit at a staggering 900 meter altitude making their wines ultra fresh.
- The pair were turning heads from the start, when their very first wine to hit the market received a thoroughly impressive 95 Parker points. It's been onwards and upwards ever since.
