The 2020 María is 100% Tempranillo sourced from calcareous and clay-rich soils in Roa, Ribera del Duero and was aged for 17 months in French oak barrels. In the glass, it's red with a purplish sheen. The nose offers wild herbs with violet, plum and blueberry notes. Dry and juicy, the finely-grained, chalky tannins enhance the taut palate and support the long-lasting, flavorful finish. This is a textured, savory Ribera red.
