“This black cherry-colored wine has aromas of fruits of the wood, espresso bean and olive tapenade. It is luscious on the palate, with layers of lavish tannins encasing flavors of blackberry preserves, vanilla bean, bittersweet chocolate and a tiny hint of earthiness that adds interest to the palate. The slightly grippy finish features a parting note of violet.” – (Cellar Selection)

Sourced from Ribera del Duero and was aged 200% in new French oak, the 2019 Portia Triennia reveals aromas of cassis and menthol alongside black fruit and aging notes of plum, cedar, licorice, anise and field herbs. The palate is dry and slightly indulgent, offering broad, chalky tannins and a gentle grip that leads to a long, layered finish. This is a Ribera straddling modernity and classicism, with a deep dry extract sensation.

About the Vineyard

From the Pago Carronda vineyard in la Aguilera. Vines with an age of 80 years are grown at an elevation of 900m. Sandy calcareous soil with a high pH and poor in nutrients. Maturation is slower, as this type of soil reflects sunlight and cannot retain heat. The result is an aromatic, round and elegant wine with a well balanced acidity.
