From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

Bodegas Faustino, known as the Grand Master of Rioja, has created an unparalleled masterpiece with Portia's flagship wine from Ribera Duero. This wine is the result of a bold vision and years of dedication. In the early 1990s, Faustino sought new horizons beyond their native region. They discovered an underrated plot of land in Ribera del Duero. Where others hesitated, they saw potential. Now, years later, these vineyards have become icons of the region, with Tempranillo grapes thriving in four different vineyards at altitudes of up to 850 meters above sea level.

The Tempranillo grapes used for this wine are simply the crème de la crème of Portia's offerings. Deeply rooted, old vines, nourished by rich soil, yield grapes of invaluable quality. The unique combination of the climate and the cooling mountain winds ensures balanced maturation. After careful hand-harvesting, the wine is aged for 15 months in oak barrels, some of which are new, adding depth and complexity.

This wine is a true award-winner, recognized by international wine critics, including 94 points from Decanter and James Suckling. Upon opening the bottle, you're immediately greeted by powerful aromas of black fruit, herbs, and spices. The deep red color with purple hues betrays its intensity. The nose is rich with nuances of black fruit, tobacco, dark chocolate, vanilla, cedar, and spices. The palate is equally impressive, with a harmony of blackberry, cherry, roasted nuts, vanilla, and pepper, rounded out with hints of spice and cocoa. An absolute top wine that's worth every sip!
