The vineyards for this Tempranillo are naturally found in the Ribera del Duero. The vines used for this red wine are relatively young, contributing to the "youthful" wine the winemaker wanted to create with the Sembro. The young vines grow in peace and warmth. The falling nighttime temperatures create a good balance between warmth and coolness. When the Tempranillo grapes for this Sembro are ripe, they are harvested by hand. To preserve the beautiful young fruit, a cold maceration of three days takes place. This is followed by a short fermentation of only seven days to minimize tannins. This delicious red wine from Bodegas del Jaro is then aged for four months in French and American oak barrels for suppleness and a hint of vanilla.
The end result is truly delicious. Upon uncorking the wine, the delightful aromas of young red fruit, a hint of vanilla, and a light touch of cedarwood emerge. Once poured, a rich ruby red color with a purple core reveals itself. This clearly awakens the first senses. We gently swirl the wine in the glass, smell it again, and then taste it. What a gem! The palate of this Sembro Ribera del Duero is full-bodied, creamy, seductive, and smooth, with delicious red fruit notes, a pleasant, sultry spiciness, and delightfully rounded tannins. The finish is silky and rich.
