Legaris Moradillo de Roa 2018

From Legaris, Moradillo de Roa 2018 is a Ribera del Duero wine that expresses the authentic character of the region. Sourced from a small vineyard in Moradillo de Roa on the southern border of Burgos Province, it highlights the extreme character of Tinto Fino grown at the limit of ripening in an extremely cold climate, resulting in an extremely concentrated style.

In the glass, it shows a deep, ripe cherry colour with a dark purple rim and an intensely coloured, almost opaque appearance. The nose opens with cocoa, blackberry and other ripe black fruits, set against a background of delicate mineral notes. On the palate, it is lush with an extremely long finish, supported by very lively tannins characteristic of the gravelly soils found in the vineyard. With great cellaring capacity, it is well suited to those looking to lay down a distinctive Ribera del Duero vintage.
