Barrica

2013 Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo

Balbas Barrica is a remarkable red wine from the esteemed Ribera del Duero region, crafted from the renowned Tempranillo varietal. With its captivating deep ruby color, this 2013 vintage offers an alluring bouquet of ripe blackberries and cherries, intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and toasted oak derived from careful aging in oak barrels. The wine presents a full-bodied character complemented by a lively acidity that adds freshness and vibrancy, while the tannins are notably structured, providing a robust backbone that enhances its aging potential. The impeccable balance of fruit intensity and well-integrated oak makes this wine not only approachable but also enticing for those who appreciate the richness of Old-World wine craftsmanship. Perfect for pairing with grilled meats and hearty stews, Balbas Barrica truly embodies the essence of Ribera del Duero's winemaking tradition.
