Before electricity was invented, people in the Ribera del Duero made do with what they had: snow. They dug deep pits to store it and keep cool in the summer.<\/p>\n
That is where the name of this wine by Rub\u00e9n Iglesias<\/strong> comes from. It isn\u2019t just a nice phrase for the label; it is a statement of intent: to make a wine that preserves the freshness of the grape as if it were stored under snow.<\/strong><\/p>\n What makes it special?<\/strong> What you\u2019ll notice:<\/strong> We\u2019ve brought it to Vinocalidad because it\u2019s the perfect wine for anyone looking for a true-to-form Ribera that\u2019s a joy to drink.<\/strong><\/p>\n A word of warning:<\/strong> A wine that pays homage to the past (and to your palate).<\/strong> Pozo de Nieve is a tribute to the old ice wells of the Ribera. A 12-month Crianza that, far from being heavy, is vibrant, fresh and lively<\/strong>If you\u2019re looking for a Tempranillo with a story behind it that won\u2019t leave you feeling overwhelmed after just a few sips, this is the one for you.<\/p>\n
It comes from select vineyards that truly understand the cold. It spends 12 months in oak barrels<\/strong> , just enough time for the oak to give it structure without overpowering the fruit. It's a difficult balance to achieve: it has the seriousness of a Crianza but with a surprising agility on the palate.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s a cherry-red wine with a very clear colour. On the nose, you\u2019ll detect red fruits and a very subtle hint of vanilla and liquorice. It\u2019s on the palate where the magic happens: it starts off with power but flows with a freshness that cleanses the palate. It\u2019s persistent, yes, but it doesn\u2019t leave your mouth as dry as a bone.<\/p>\n
\nThis wine isn\u2019t produced by the million. It follows the Vega de Yuso philosophy: exceptional quality in small batches. If you visit the website and see it\u2019s in stock, snap it up. It\u2019s one of those wines that, when served at a dinner party, has guests asking where it came from. And as you well know, the best and rarest things don\u2019t wait for the indecisive.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
