This Torres Celeste Roble comes from Ribera del Duero, a wine region in northern Spain. Just a short two-hour drive from the capital, Madrid, lies countless vineyards, offering a taste of everything Ribera del Duero has to offer. The wine region is still relatively young, receiving its DO designation from the Spanish government less than 40 years ago. Miguel Torres has long been active in this exciting region, but it's only been in the last 20 years that the public has been able to enjoy it. This Torres Celeste Roble is the latest sensation set to conquer the wine world.
This wine from Ribera del Duero is made entirely of Tempranillo. This Spanish all-rounder has built an impressive reputation. Characterful and spicy, yet soft and supple: Tempranillo can do it all. The grapes are fermented after harvest. Afterward, the juice undergoes a short oak aging of just three months in the impressive cellars of the Torres winery. This keeps Torres Celeste Roble pleasantly accessible. Pouring this red wine will send your senses into overdrive. You'll smell and taste black cherries, dark berries, and a hint of smoky tobacco.
