Viyuela – Crianza Ribera del Duero 2017 🇪🇸

A Full-Bodied Tempranillo Masterpiece from Spain’s Powerhouse Region

This is Ribera with all the muscle and none of the ego.
The 2017 Viyuela Crianza is what happens when high-altitude Tempranillo meets serious French oak. Aged 16 months in barrel, this red brings the heat with plush fruit, smoky spice, and a finish that just won’t quit. Made in Boada de Roa — one of Ribera del Duero’s hidden gems — this wine is bold, balanced, and beautifully built for your next steak night or slow Sunday.

🏅 92 Points – Andreas Larsson

“Ripe, round, and generous. Plums, oak, spice, balance. A classic in the making.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep purple at the core, ruby on the edges — rich and vibrant.

• Nose: Ripe blackberries, dark plums, a touch of vanilla, cinnamon, and a whisper of anise.

• Palate: Full-bodied, plush, and layered. Dark fruit, baking spice, and smooth tannins all wrapped in a juicy, oak-kissed frame.

• Finish: Long, elegant, and just a little seductive — fruit, spice, and structure in perfect sync.

🌄 The Ribera Story

Crafted by Bodegas Viyuela, a rising star in Boada de Roa, this wine is made from 20-year-old vines grown at 940 meters above sea level — where cool nights and warm days supercharge the grapes with intensity and finesse.

The result? A Tempranillo that’s modern in texture, classic in soul, and ready to raise the bar on your Spanish red game.
