Pago de los Capellanes
Spain - Castilla y Leon - Ribera del Duero

Crianza is the essential wine. Balance and integrity. It displays the fine manners of experience and the grace of plethoric vine. Juicy black fruit on the palate inviting you to eat well and feel good.

But there is more. Crianza maintains an invisible pact with the landscape. An imperceptible force that brings us closer to the truth of the place. And instantly turns extreme climate vineyards into the most welcoming place in the world.

2020 Pago de los Capellanes Ribera del Duero Crianza - 94 PTS - DECANTER

decanter logo 250"A wonderfully polished expression of Ribera del Duero's match-up of power and high-plain freshness, this still has gorgeous intensity of finger-staining blackberry and mullberry succulence, a shading of expensive, fine-grained, toasty oak and satisfyingly savoury tannins all coming together to match the meat coming off the wood-fired grill. - David WILLIAMS"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"The 2020 Ribera del Duero Crianza offers a touch more complexity, with both red and black fruits, sandalwood, leafy tobacco, and graphite-driven aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied and has a layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. Drink this 100% Tempranillo over the coming 5-6 years, although I suspect it will evolve even longer."

wine spectator 94 pts"An elegant, medium- to full-bodied red, with creamy tannins well-meshed with flavors of blackberry paste, crushed black cherry, eucalyptus and milled pepper, revealing lively acidity with a balsamico edge. Drink now through 2028. 29,166 cases made, 800 cases imported.—Alison NAPJUS."
