Jesús Yllera
Elegant and complex, this Ribera del Duero is a tribute to one of the founders of Yllera with a blend of old vines from different terroirs.
Vineyards
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon. More than 50 years old vineyards at elevations of up to 1000 metres. Highly diverse soil types but mostly clay and sandy.
Wine making
Produced only in excellent vintages. Hand harvested in small crates. Double sorting, first in the vineyard and then in the cellar. Carefully optical selection of the grape and filled by gravity. Whole grapes without stem, to extract maximum fruit aromas. Daily pumping during the process.
Tasting notes
It has a deep and intense cherry-red colour. Very aromatic and explosive nose, modern and elegant. We can appreciate nice ripe black fruits (plum, blackberry, blueberry) with intense notes of vanilla, cocoa, liquorice, toast and other nice spicy and mineral hints (flint, pencil mine).
Powerful tannins. Full body wine, dense, delicate, wide and velvety.
Nice acidity which makes it very fresh, with a long and elegant finish that invites you to have another glass.
