Vintages New Release Collection – December 6, 2025

The best Ribera del Duero reds exhibit the impressive structure, elegance and potential longevity for which Tempranillo is known. What typically sets these wines apart from those of Rioja is a bit of extra power, ruggedness and intensity thanks to the more extreme growing conditions from its higher elevation and bigger day-night temperature swings. For those new to Ribera del Duero, think of the region’s red wines as existing somewhere between the reds of Rioja and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in high-altitude mountain vineyards.
