The Arzuaga winery is in Valladolid, in the heart of the Ribera del Duero Designation of Origin. The wines come from La Planta, an estate belonging to the Arzuaga family in Quintanilla de Onésimo, in the province of Valladolid. This is an excellent location for vine-growing, as the plants receive the sun and moisture, they need for the grapes to ripen perfectly. There can be no doubt that Arzuaga wines are made based on three premises: the soil, the climate and the orientation of the vineyards.

Tasting Notes:
Clean and bright. Ruby red in color with purple hues. Explosive, rich in nuances, with a highly complete aromatic palette where black fruits stand out, accompanied by subtle hints reminiscent of roasted and smoky elements. A very serious wine, with highly refined and complex aromas that evolve throughout the tasting. Enveloping and structured, with a substantial smoothness accentuated by its sweet tannins. Silky sensations and a prolonged aftertaste.

Grape Varietal(s):
Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):
“Spicy oak to the fresh blackberries with some vanilla, smoke, walnut and dried orange peel. Chewy and pretty tannic with juicy fruit on the tight, medium- to full-bodied palate. Long and grippy finish. Needs at least two years to come around. Better from 2025.” – James Suckling, 92 points
