Description
Portia Roble 2024 is the most accessible and youthful red wine from Bodegas Portia, the flagship project of the Grupo Faustino in the Ribera del Duero DO, whose winery—designed by the prestigious Foster & Partners studio—has become an icon of global wine architecture. An honest, expressive Roble with excellent value for money that demonstrates the potential of Tempranillo in its freshest and most direct version.
Made with 100% Tempranillo (Tinto Fino) grapes from the winery's own vineyards located in the "Golden Triangle" area, between the municipalities of Gumiel de Mercado and Gumiel de Izán (Burgos), on predominantly sandy soils at an altitude of between 800 and 850 meters. Yields are kept low to favor the aromatic concentration of the fruit.
The winemaking combines modernity and respect for the variety: controlled fermentation in truncated conical stainless steel tanks that favor a delicate and precise extraction of varietal aromas. Subsequently, the wine undergoes 3 months of aging in American oak barrels, just enough time to acquire structure, softness, and those pleasant toasted nuances that complement the fruit without masking it.
It has a bright cherry-red color with purple reflections. On the nose, it is intense and fruity: fresh red fruits such as cherry and redcurrant, with a slightly sweet and spicy touch from its brief time in the barrel. On the palate, it is luscious, round, and easy-drinking, with soft tannins, good acidity, and a pleasant finish with sweet and slightly toasted notes. A perfect red wine for everyday drinking and for those who are just starting out with Ribera del Duero wines.
Serving temperature: 14-16°C. Ideal for tapas, cured meats, pizzas, pasta, grilled meats, semi-cured cheeses, and rice dishes.
