Viyuela – Selección Ribera del Duero 2017 🇪🇸

94-Point Tempranillo That Puts Ribera’s Elegance on Full Display

Big structure, bold flavor, zero excess.
The 2017 Viyuela Selección is 100% Tempranillo, aged 20 months in French oak, and grown on high-altitude vines over 20 years old. This is Ribera del Duero’s elegance turned up to 11 — fresh, rich, and flawlessly polished.

🏅 94 Points – Wine & Spirits Magazine

“Luscious fruit without the weight. Earthy, fresh, refined — a standout Ribera.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep ruby red with serious depth — looks as luxe as it tastes.

• Nose: Blackberry, cassis, toasted herbs, vanilla, and a subtle flicker of black pepper.

• Palate: Full-bodied but lifted. Black plum, blackcurrant, and delicate oak spice ride on vibrant acidity and ripe, silky tannins.

• Finish: Long, lingering, and quietly powerful. A slow-burn finish of fruit, spice, and elegance.

🌄 The Viyuela Signature

Crafted in Boada de Roa at 940 meters above sea level, Viyuela Selección captures the soul of Ribera del Duero’s high-altitude terroir. These old vines dig deep, producing concentrated fruit that’s aged to perfection in French oak for 20 months.

The result? Elegance with backbone. Tradition with finesse. A red you don’t just sip — you remember.

🍽️ Pair It Like a Pro
