A rich and satisfying Ribera del Duero red, from a quality focussed micro producer Quinta Milú. This is a family run project in the Ribera del Duero from the Asturian viticulturist Germán R. Blanco. A small project which for nearly 10 years now has looked for wines which tell us about where they were born, a small village by the name of La Aguilera situated in the province of Burgos. Germán makes his elegant, fruit-forward wines using foot-treading, wild yeast fermentation and minimal handling. Not filtered, not clarified and not stabilized is his ethos. All his wines share a delicious rusticity, purity of fruit, and incredible freshness. Germán calls this— his flagship wine— a “vino de pueblo”, which translates as “a wine for every day and for everyone.” Pair it with braised meats, steak, game, lamb, root veggies, hard cheese or just have it on its own.
