Pago de Carraovejas 'El Anejon' Ribera del Duero 2019

Deep red purple color. Complex nose, suggestive of red berries, flowers, toast and spice. Fresh and vibrant; powerful and elegant; well-structured and balanced. Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot. Organic. Founded by Jose Maria Ruiz in 1987. The original concept was to redefine the approach to wine production in Ribera del Duero and produce a Ribera that perfectly complimented the roasted suckling pig served at Jose Maria. The restaurant opened in 1982 and has the reputation as being the best in Spain for its suckling pig. The vineyards and new winery are located three kilometers outside Peñafiel, in the sunny enclave formed by the valleys of the Botijas River, a tributary of the Duero River. The mostly hillside vineyards enjoy a microclimate created by the sweetening influence of the Duero River, the dominant west winds that keep the vines healthy and the south facing aspect of the softly rolling hillsides. Perfect conditions for their 140 hectares of thriving vineyard. Carraove
