Domino Del Aguila Reserve

Tasting Notes

Domino Del Aguila Reserve 2013 is an elegant purple color. The palate is somewhat austere manner, with chalky tannins, quite balanced with a clear rustic character of Ribera del Duero. The nose is aromatic, with ripe cherries and raspberries.

General Information

One of the newest estates in Ribera del Duero, Dominio del Águila, was founded by Jorge Monzón and Isabel Rodero in 2010. Located in the village of La Aguilera, Jorge farms 30 hectares of vines organically with ongoing experiments with biodynamics. Like his neighbours, he relies primarily on the Tempranillo grape for his wines. Whole cluster natural yeast fermentation in concrete tanks, trodden with the feet. This cuvee sees a maceration before aging in barrel for nearly three years almost half of that time waiting for the malolactic fermentation to finish. This results in a wine with remarkable poise and complexity.
