Tasting notes
Ruby coloured with iodine rims, bright and high intensity, typical of the Gran Reservas of Ribera del Duero D.O. with a long life still. Complex nose of fruit, compote, minerality and balsamic that changes as the aromas expand in the wineglass. Elegant in the mouth with distinct tannins, complex structure with velvety and rich aftertaste. A Gran Reserva with a lot of life.

Winemaking
Grapes ferment at a controlled temperature of 28° C for 25 days then the wine ages in American oak barrels from Missouri and French oak from Troncais. Later the wine rests in coned-shaped French oak vats from Nevers and finishing its aging bottled for 36 months. Five and a half years aging in our cellars to reach the consumer at full taste. PradoRey Gran Reserva is only elaborated in years when the grape shows the high quality necessary for a long aging in oak barrels and bottles.
