Ribera del Duero

The grape varieties with which we have produced this wine have been Fine Red (Tempranillo) 90% and Cabernet Sauvignon 10%. In our Legaris Crianza we want to express the uniqueness and complexity of the Ribera del Duero, for which we selected different vineyards in various geographical areas: - Pesquera de Duero, Valbuena de Duero, Manzanillo, Melida and Peñafiel in the province of Valladolid, with altitudes understood between the 750 and the 880 meters, the predominant soils are lighter that give rise to wines that are more aromatic. - Roa, The Horra, Hontoria Part, Valdeande, Villalbilla de Gumiel, Fuentenebro, Boada de Roa, Moradillo de Roa, Olmedillo de Roa in the Burgos province, with altitudes understood between the 810 and the 970 meters, where the soils are clayey-calcareous, and provide structure and power to our wines. Also we count with own vineyards (93 You) in the farms of Curiel de Duero (Valladolid) and San Martín de Rubiales (Burgos), whose vineyards began to be planted in 1999 and currently follow a system of cultivation of Double Cord Royal, in which we make sustainable viticulture with plant cover. In this vintage 2014 we started to harvest the Tinto Fino the 27 of September and ended the 8 October. The Cabernet Sauvignon the same the 20 October. The first frost came during the month of October, at the end of the cycle. With regard to the temperatures, we can talk about a mild winter. At the start of the spring, the temperatures were remarkably high, this accelerated 10 days the sprouting of the vineyard. It was not until the second half of August so that the maximum temperatures were the own of this time. Although it really noticeable in terms of the temperatures of this cycle has occurred during the months of September and October, in which the temperatures were far superior to the usual, being the constant and hot sunny days, what said finally the maturation of the fruit. The rainfall of this vintage has been lower than expected.
