Matarromera Pago de las Solanas 2010

Ribera del Duero

This unique wine proudly bears the name of its vineyard located in Olivares de Duero, at the heart of Ribera del Duero's Golden Mile. Las Solanas hamlet is, above all, a spectacle to behold with its idyllic landscape. Located between 740 and 820 metres above sea level, it sits on a steeply sloping plot of land sheltered by a hillside, crowned by a pine forest where partridges, hares, wild boars, roe deer and foxes live together happily. Its south-facing orientation ensures excellent sun exposure, and its location protects the vineyards from the prevailing westerly winds. In three words: It has everything. Soil, nice weather, and vineyards. And of course, the wine:

1. Its persistence is noteworthy, thanks to its peculiar acid black fruit notes, such as ripe blackberries.

2. It is a wine with a high mineral content, provided by its calcareous soil.

3. Subtle nuances of spices and cocoa.

4. Fantastic balance, typical of a wine with soul, but with great body.

5. Magic, typical of a signature wine.
