Many people buy a "Crianza" simply because it's the middle option in the catalog. That's a mistake.
In Vega de Yuso, Rubén Iglesias doesn't believe in half measures. Either the wine is excellent, or it's not bottled.
He Tresmatas Breeding This is proof of that. It's a single-varietal Tempranillo from vineyards between 25 and 35 years old. At that age, the vine has stopped messing around and offers a concentration of flavor that young vines can only dream of achieving.
Why is it different from the others?
It spends 18 months in oak barrels (a French 75% and an American 25%). But here's the trick: Rubén doesn't use the wood to mask flaws. He uses it to refine a wine that is already powerful.
What you're going to feel:
It's a clean wine. Deep cherry red in color. On the nose, you'll find ripe black fruits and hints of licorice and spices that confirm you're experiencing a true Ribera del Duero. It truly shines on the palate: it has body and structure, yet it's so well-rounded that it lingers almost imperceptibly.
This is the wine that Víctor and Pablo always recommend when someone wants to impress at a meal without having to spend the money on a Reserva. It's the perfect balance between the power of the Duero and the elegance of an artisan winery.
An honest warning:
This is probably our best-selling wine. And since Rubén only works with what the land provides (no artificial winemaking to meet demand), the stock usually disappears faster than candy outside a school. If you see it available, my advice is not to hesitate.
